“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.”
Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. The catena of proof-texts functions juridically: the law (all Scripture) speaks to those who have the law—the Jews—yet the consequence (every mouth silenced, pas kosmos hypodikos) affects the entire world. Accountability (hypodikos) to God's judgment is universal.
