A Universal Condition

Commentators stress that the language in this verse—'all,' 'together,' and 'no, not one'—is absolute and emphatic. It describes a universal human condition of having turned away from God. Albert Barnes explains this isn't about a specific group but is a divine assessment of all humanity, affirming the doctrine of universal depravity.
