New Defender's Study Bible Notes

3:13 open sepulchre. Paul draws on several Old Testament metaphors in Romans 3:13-18 to describe the implicit or explicit wickedness of men in their natural state. Psalm 5:9 likens the human tongue to “an open sepulchre” and Psalm 140:3 to “adders’ poison.”


3:15 shed blood. Isaiah 59:7-8 is referred to in Romans 3:15-17.


3:18 no fear of God. This quote is from Psalm 36:1.
