# Romans 3:23 and Forgiveness Romans 3:23 states, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (NIV). This verse doesn't directly teach about forgiveness itself, but rather establishes the universal need for it by declaring that every person has sinned and fails to meet God's perfect standard. It sets the foundation for understanding why God's forgiveness through Christ (explained in the following verses) is necessary for all humanity.
