Is that why the Jews do not need a messiah? But wasn't it David, King of Israel, who wrote Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. (Ps 51:5) and Everyone has turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. (Ps 53:3) Was he not a Jew? And was it not Moses who said Cursed is the man who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out. (Dt 27:26) Was he not also a Jew? And yet he condemns those who violate the Law just once. It seems, then, that any omission in following the Law causes condemnation as well.
