Romans 3:9 Context
7For if the trueth of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glory; why yet am I also iudged as a sinner? 8And not rather as wee be slanderously reported, and as some affirme that we say, Let vs doe euill, that good may come: whose damnation is iust. 9What then? are wee better then they? No in no wise: for we haue before proued both Iewes, and Gentiles, that they are all vnder sinne, 10As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one: 11There is none that vnderstandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

People's Bible Notes for Romans 3:9
Ro 3:9 Are we better [than they]? If Jews shall be judged as well as Gentiles, are not we Jews, having the oracles of God, better than they, and hence likely to be justified? The Jew is still supposed to be speaking. To this Paul replies, In no wise, for he had already shown (chapters 1 and 2) that both Jews and Gentiles were sinners before God.
