Psalms 14:2-3 (KJV)
The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
This passage is cited in the New Testament.
Romans 3:10-12 (KJV)
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
(I elected to provide a bit of context in the Romans passage.)
So we have this passage in the Scriptures not once, but twice. When God speaks, it is important. When God repeats Himself, we do well to pay attention!
And notice the conclusion of the Lord:
- They are all gone aside.
- They are all together become filthy.
- There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
If this were anyone other than the Lord, I would say that they are exaggerating. God doesn’t exaggerate.
- All means all.
- None means none.
- There is not one among men who understands and seeks God.
Know what God did about that?
He became man and dwelt among us.
He became the One.
And that One, Jesus Christ, became the righteousness of every man and took upon Himself the sin of all men.

Hope for Every Sinner: The One We Needed
Psalms 14 reminds us that “there is none righteous, no, not one”—but God did not leave mankind without hope. Jesus Christ became man and became the One.
