Obj. If all the World became guilty by the breach of Moses's Law, then all the World was under it: but this Paul affirms, Rom. 3. 19. Now we know whatsoever things 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.
Answ. Paul in the precedent Chapter, and what goes before in this, had proved that the Gentiles were under Sin, and were all guilty before God for violating the Law written in their Hearts: See Chap. 2. 12. and 3. 10.
Well what of this? the Gentiles then were cast and found guilty that way; yet they were not all, but part of the whole World.
And from hence he in this 19th Verse comes again to speak of the Jews who were under Moses's Law, and saith, What the Law (that is Moses's Law) saith, it saith to them who are under it (meaning the Jews) and what the Consequence of this is he shows, i. e. that every mouth might be stopped; not the mouths of the Gentiles only, but the mouths of the Jews also, that so all the World, that is both Jews and Gentiles, might become guilty before God. I hope all are and will be convinced that this is directly the meaning of Paul, if they consider the scope and coherence of the Text.
