What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;Every man is fallen. We all are short of perfection, as is defined by God. Therefore, no one is better than another.
The mistake I so often fall into is thinking I'm better than someone who does not even accept that sin exists. I see myself as above the bum, or the porn star, or the drug dealer. What I have to try and remind myself is that we all deserve the same fate, from the same source; it is only by His grace and love that I understand that better than they, and I still fail to live as if I did far too often.
