romans 3:23
1 Cor 15:22 says, “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” Does this mean that every single person ever born will die? Well, the Bible tells us that Enoch and Elijah were taken up into heaven without dying. We know that all do not die because these two exceptions exist. From this, we can know that the Bible does not necessarily exclude exceptions when it uses the word “all”. You have to look at the context. Sometimes the "all" can be used to point out the exceptions... because that is what makes them exceptional.
Returning to Romans 3:23, we should ask further whether Paul intended to exclude exceptions when he used the word “all” or is he using it in a non-absolute way? To understand the context of Paul’s thought, we should look at Romans 3:10-12 wherein he quotes Psalm 14:2-3: “As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away; they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."
Does Paul really believe that there no righteous people? Of course not! The Bible tells us that Joseph was a just man (Mt 1:19), John the Baptist’s parents, Zechariah and Elizabeth, were declared righteous (Luke 1:19), and Psalm 14 goes on to speak of “the company of the righteous” in verse 5 while Psalm 15 references those who walk blamelessly and do what is right. So, if Paul is using the word “all” to mean “absolutely no exceptions”, then he is using the word very differently from the verses he quoted from Psalm 14 and from other passages of scripture.
Therefore, when Paul uses the word “all”, he is not automatically declaring that every single individual who ever lives will be guilty of committing personal sin. Rather, he is communicating with clarity the universality of sin and the idea that both Jews and Gentiles alike are sinners before God. His use does not exclude the possibility of exceptions as in other Scripture references.
