Connecting Statement:

Paul sums up that all are guilty of sin, none are righteous, and no one seeks God.

What then? Are we excusing ourselves?

Paul asks these questions to emphasize his point. Alternate translation: "We Jews should not try to imagine we are going to escape God's judgment, just because we are Jewish!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)

Not at all

These words are stronger than a simple "no," but not as strong as "absolutely not!"
