Paul's letter to the Romans emphasizes the universality of sin, with all people having sinned and fallen short of God's glory. He argues that God's wrath is revealed against sin, and that judgment will be based on one's works, with those who live self-righteously and hypocritically facing wrath and fury. Paul also stresses the importance of recognizing one's sinfulness and the need for salvation, and that the law is meant to teach us that we are sinners, not to make us righteous.
