God is holy, and Romans 3 measures everyone against Him. "There is no one righteous, not even one" (3:10). The law speaks "so that every mouth may be silenced" (3:19). This is the guilt half of From Guilt to Grace, and it isn't cruelty. It's a diagnosis. God's holiness is the standard that exposes us, and Scripture won't blur it to make us comfortable. Here's the mercy hidden in the hard passage: only people who've gone quiet before a holy God are ready to hear what He says next.
