According to Romans 3:9, Paul has demonstrated that both ____ are all under sin.

• A. Jews
• B. Jews and Gentiles
• C. Gentiles
• D. Romans and Jews

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that sin affects everyone equally and no one can claim righteousness from lineage or privilege. Paul states that both Jews and Gentiles are all under sin, showing there is no group that escapes sin’s power or condemnation. This inclusive claim sets up the need for God's mercy and justification by faith, rather than relying on outward status or adherence to the Law. The other options fall short because they either leave out one group or misname the scope—Romans as a group isn’t the focus of the statement, and the verse explicitly includes both Jews and Gentiles.
