Romans 3
1. The Jews prerogative;
3. which they have not lost;
9. howbeit the law convinces them also of sin;
20. therefore no one is justified by the law;
28. but all, without difference, by faith, only;
31. and yet the law is not abolished.














Their feet
This phrase metaphorically represents the actions and behaviors of individuals. In the biblical context, "feet" often symbolize the path one chooses in life. The Greek word for "feet" is "πόδες" (podes), which can imply movement or direction. In the ancient world, feet were essential for travel and action, indicating that the individuals being described are quick to engage in harmful or sinful activities. This imagery is consistent with the biblical theme of walking in righteousness versus walking in sin.

are swift
The Greek word used here is "ταχύς" (tachus), meaning quick or speedy. This suggests an eagerness or readiness to commit acts of violence or sin. Historically, swiftness in action was often associated with warriors or those who pursued their goals with determination. In a spiritual sense, this swiftness indicates a lack of hesitation in turning away from God's commandments and pursuing a path of destruction.

to shed blood
The phrase "to shed blood" is a direct reference to violence and murder. The Greek word "αἷμα" (haima) for "blood" is often used in the Bible to denote life, as life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11). Thus, to shed blood is to take life, which is a grave sin against God's creation. In the historical context of the Roman Empire, violence was prevalent, and this phrase would resonate with the audience as a condemnation of such acts. Scripturally, this aligns with the sixth commandment, "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13), highlighting the severity of the sin and the moral decay of those who are quick to engage in such actions.
