A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
for all have sinned--Though men differ greatly in the nature and extent of their sinfulness, there is absolutely no difference between the best and the worst of men, in the fact that "all have sinned," and so underlie the wrath of God.

and come short of the glory--or "praise"

of God--that is, "have failed to earn His approbation" (compare Joh 12:43, Greek). So the best interpreters.

43 For [1063] they loved [25] the praise [1391] of men [444] more [3123] than [2260] the praise [1391] of God [2316].
43 For [1063] they loved [25] the praise [1391] of men [444] more [3123] than [2260] the praise [1391] of God [2316].
54 Jesus [2424] answered [611], If [1437] I [1473] honour [1392] myself [1683], my [3450] honour [1391] is [2076] nothing [3762]: it is [2076] my [3450] Father [3962] that honoureth [1392] me [3165]; of whom [3739] ye [5210] say [3004], that [3754] he is [2076] your [5216] God [2316]:
50 And [1161] I [1473] seek [2212] not [3756] mine own [3450] glory [1391]: there is [2076] one that seeketh [2212] and [2532] judgeth [2919].
18 He that speaketh [2980] of [575] himself [1438] seeketh [2212] his own [2398] glory [1391]: but [1161] he that seeketh [2212] his glory [1391] that sent [3992] him [846], the same [3778] is [2076] true [227], and [2532] no [3756] unrighteousness [93] is [2076] in [1722] him [846].
44 How [4459] can [1410] ye [5210] believe [4100], which receive [2983] honour [1391] one of another [3844] [240], and [2532] seek [2212] not [3756] the honour [1391] that cometh from [3844] God [2316] only [3441]?
41 I receive [2983] not [3756] honour [1391] from [3844] men [444].
39 And [2532] by [1722] him [5129] all [3956] that believe [4100] are justified [1344] from [575] all things [3956], from which [3739] ye could [1410] not [3756] be justified [1344] by [1722] the law [3551] of Moses [3475].
38 Be it [2077] known [1110] unto you [5213] therefore [3767], men [435] and brethren [80], that [3754] through [1223] this man [5127] is preached [2605] unto you [5213] the forgiveness [859] of sins [266]:
12 Neither [2532] [3756] is there [2076] salvation [4991] in [1722] any [3762] other [243]: for [1063] there is [2076] none [3777] other [2087] name [3686] under [5259] heaven [3772] given [1325] among [1722] men [444], whereby [1722] [3739] we [2248] must [1163] be saved [4982].
26 For then [1893] must [1163] he [846] often [4178] have suffered [3958] since [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]: but [1161] now [3568] once [530] in [1909] the end [4930] of the world [165] hath he appeared [5319] to [1519] put away [115] sin [266] by [1223] the sacrifice [2378] of himself [846].
23 For [1063] the wages [3800] of sin [266] is death [2288]; but [1161] the gift [5486] of God [2316] is eternal [166] life [2222] through [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962].
20 The soul [05315] that sinneth [02398], it shall die [04191]. The son [01121] shall not bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the father [01], neither shall the father [01] bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the son [01121]: the righteousness [06666] of the righteous [06662] shall be upon him, and the wickedness [07564] of the wicked [07563] shall be upon him.
4 Behold, all souls [05315] are mine; as the soul [05315] of the father [01], so also the soul [05315] of the son [01121] is mine: the soul [05315] that sinneth [02398], it shall die [04191].
19 In the sweat [02188] of thy face [0639] shalt thou eat [0398] bread [03899], till [05704] thou return [07725] unto the ground [0127]; for out of it wast thou taken [03947]: for dust [06083] thou [0859] art, and unto dust [06083] shalt thou return [07725].
17 But of the tree [06086] of the knowledge [01847] of good [02896] and evil [07451], thou shalt not eat [0398] of it: for in the day [03117] that thou eatest [0398] thereof thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191].
22 Who [3739] did [4160] no [3756] sin [266], neither [3761] was guile [1388] found [2147] in [1722] his [846] mouth [4750]:
23 For [1063] all [3956] have sinned [264], and [2532] come short [5302] of the glory [1391] of God [2316];
12 Wherefore [1223] [5124], as [5618] by [1223] one [1520] man [444] sin [266] entered [1525] into [1519] the world [2889], and [2532] death [2288] by [1223] sin [266]; and [2532] so [3779] death [2288] passed [1330] upon [1519] all [3956] men [444], for [1909] that [3739] all [3956] have sinned [264]:
12 How art thou fallen [05307] from heaven [08064], O Lucifer [01966], son [01121] of the morning [07837] [03213] ! how art thou cut down [01438] to the ground [0776], which didst weaken [02522] the nations [01471]!
13 For thou hast said [0559] in thine heart [03824], I will ascend [05927] into heaven [08064], I will exalt [07311] my throne [03678] above [04605] the stars [03556] of God [0410]: I will sit [03427] also upon the mount [02022] of the congregation [04150], in the sides [03411] of the north [06828]:
14 I will ascend [05927] above the heights [01116] of the clouds [05645]; I will be like [01819] the most High [05945].
9 Of [4012] sin [266], [3303] because [3754] they believe [4100] not [3756] on [1519] me [1691];
9 Knowing [1492] this [5124], that [3754] the law [3551] is [2749] not [3756] made [2749] for a righteous man [1342], but [1161] for the lawless [459] and [2532] disobedient [506], for the ungodly [765] and [2532] for sinners [268], for unholy [462] and [2532] profane [952], for murderers of fathers [3964] and [2532] murderers of mothers [3389], for manslayers [409],
1 And [2532] you [5209] hath he quickened, who were [5607] dead [3498] in trespasses [3900] and [2532] sins [266];
23 For [1063] all [3956] have sinned [264], and [2532] come short [5302] of the glory [1391] of God [2316];
9 Hide [05641] thy face [06440] from my sins [02399], and blot out [04229] all mine iniquities [05771].
29 And [1161] he answering [611] said [2036] to his father [3962], Lo [2400], these many [5118] years [2094] do I serve [1398] thee [4671], neither [3763] transgressed I [3928] at any time [3763] thy [4675] commandment [1785]: and [2532] yet [2532] thou [1325] never [3763] gavest [1325] me [1698] a kid [2056], that [2443] I might make merry [2165] with [3326] my [3450] friends [5384]:
1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732], when Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030] came [0935] unto him, after he had gone in [0935] to Bathsheba [01339]. Have mercy [02603] upon me, O God [0430], according to thy lovingkindness [02617]: according unto the multitude [07230] of thy tender mercies [07356] blot out [04229] my transgressions [06588].
11 This [5026] beginning [746] of miracles [4592] did [4160] Jesus [2424] in [1722] Cana [2580] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] manifested forth [5319] his [846] glory [1391]; and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] believed [4100] on [1519] him [846].
14 And [2532] the Word [3056] was made [1096] flesh [4561], and [2532] dwelt [4637] among [1722] us [2254], (and [2532] we beheld [2300] his [846] glory [1391], the glory [1391] as [5613] of the only begotten [3439] of [3844] the Father [3962],) full [4134] of grace [5485] and [2532] truth [225].
3 Who [3739] being [5607] the brightness [541] of his glory [1391], and [2532] the express image [5481] of his [846] person [5287], and [5037] upholding [5342] all things [3956] by the word [4487] of his [846] power [1411], when he had [4160] [2512] by [1223] himself [1438] purged [4160] [2512] our [2257] sins [266], sat down [2523] on [1722] the right hand [1188] of the Majesty [3172] on [1722] high [5308];
13 Looking for [4327] that blessed [3107] hope [1680], and [2532] the glorious [1391] appearing [2015] of the great [3173] God [2316] and [2532] our [2257] Saviour [4990] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547];
21 Because [3754] the creature [2937] itself [846] also [2532] shall be delivered [1659] from [575] the bondage [1397] of corruption [5356] into [1519] the glorious [1391] liberty [1657] of the children [5043] of God [2316].
18 For [1063] I reckon [3049] that [3754] the sufferings [3804] of this present [3568] time [2540] are not [3756] worthy [514] to be compared with [4314] the glory [1391] which shall [3195] be revealed [601] in [1519] us [2248].
2 By [1223] whom [3739] also [2532] we have [2192] access [4318] by faith [4102] into [1519] this [5026] grace [5485] wherein [1722] [3739] we stand [2476], and [2532] rejoice [2744] in [1909] hope [1680] of the glory [1391] of God [2316].
11 Strengthened [1412] with [1722] all [3956] might [1411], according to [2596] his [846] glorious [1391] power [2904], unto [1519] all [3956] patience [5281] and [2532] longsuffering [3115] with [3326] joyfulness [5479];
16 That [2443] he would grant [1325] you [5213], according to [2596] the riches [4149] of his [846] glory [1391], to be strengthened [2901] with might [1411] by [1223] his [846] Spirit [4151] in [1519] the inner [2080] man [444];
4 Therefore [3767] we are buried with [4916] him [846] by [1223] baptism [908] into [1519] death [2288]: that [2443] like as [5618] Christ [5547] was raised up [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498] by [1223] the glory [1391] of the Father [3962], even so [3779] we [2249] also [2532] should walk [4043] in [1722] newness [2538] of life [2222].
3 According as [5613] his [846] divine [2304] power [1411] hath given [1433] unto us [2254] all things [3956] that pertain unto [4314] life [2222] and [2532] godliness [2150], through [1223] the knowledge [1922] of him that hath called [2564] us [2248] to [1223] glory [1391] and [2532] virtue [703]:
12 That [1519] we [2248] should be [1511] to [1519] the praise [1868] of his [846] glory [1391], who [3588] first trusted [4276] in [1722] Christ [5547].
11 According [2596] to the glorious [1391] gospel [2098] of the blessed [3107] God [2316], which [3739] was committed to [4100] my [1473] trust [4100].
23 And [2532] that [2443] he might make known [1107] the riches [4149] of his [846] glory [1391] on [1909] the vessels [4632] of mercy [1656], which [3739] he had afore prepared [4282] unto [1519] glory [1391],
2 By [1223] whom [3739] also [2532] we have [2192] access [4318] by faith [4102] into [1519] this [5026] grace [5485] wherein [1722] [3739] we stand [2476], and [2532] rejoice [2744] in [1909] hope [1680] of the glory [1391] of God [2316].
4 Therefore [3767] we are buried with [4916] him [846] by [1223] baptism [908] into [1519] death [2288]: that [2443] like as [5618] Christ [5547] was raised up [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498] by [1223] the glory [1391] of the Father [3962], even so [3779] we [2249] also [2532] should walk [4043] in [1722] newness [2538] of life [2222].
3 And the Gentiles [01471] shall come [01980] to thy light [0216], and kings [04428] to the brightness [05051] of thy rising [02225].
23 And I will take [05493] away mine hand [03709], and thou shalt see [07200] my back parts [0268]: but my face [06440] shall not be seen [07200].
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory [03519] passeth by [05674], that I will put [07760] thee in a clift [05366] of the rock [06697], and will cover [05526] thee with my hand [03709] while [05704] I pass by [05674]:
8 With him will I speak [01696] mouth [06310] to mouth [06310], even apparently [04758], and not in dark speeches [02420]; and the similitude [08544] of the LORD [03068] shall he behold [05027]: wherefore then were ye not afraid [03372] to speak [01696] against my servant [05650] Moses [04872]?
15 As for me, I will behold [02372] thy face [06440] in righteousness [06664]: I shall be satisfied [07646], when I awake [06974], with thy likeness [08544].
23 And [2532] changed [236] the glory [1391] of the uncorruptible [862] God [2316] into [1722] an image [1504] made like [3667] to corruptible [5349] man [444], and [2532] to birds [4071], and [2532] fourfooted beasts [5074], and [2532] creeping things [2062].
27 Consider [2657] the lilies [2918] how [4459] they grow [837]: they toil [2872] not [3756], they spin [3514] not [3761]; and yet [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], that Solomon [4672] in [1722] all [3956] his [846] glory [1391] was [4016] not [3761] arrayed [4016] like [5613] one [1520] of these [5130].
6 And [2532] the devil [1228] said [2036] unto him [846], All [537] this [5026] power [1849] will I give [1325] thee [4671], and [2532] the glory [1391] of them [846]: for [3754] that is delivered [3860] unto me [1698]; and [2532] to [3739] whomsoever [1437] I will [2309] I give [1325] it [846].
8 Again [3825], the devil [1228] taketh [3880] him [846] up [3880] into [1519] an exceeding [3029] high [5308] mountain [3735], and [2532] sheweth [1166] him [846] all [3956] the kingdoms [932] of the world [2889], and [2532] the glory [1391] of them [846];
10 But [235] when [3752] thou art bidden [2564], go [4198] and sit down [377] in [1519] the lowest [2078] room [5117]; that [2443] when [3752] he that bade [2564] thee [4571] cometh [2064], he may say [2036] unto thee [4671], Friend [5384], go up [4320] higher [511]: then [5119] shalt thou [4671] have [2071] worship [1391] in the presence [1799] of them that sit at meat [4873] with thee [4671].
14 Glory [1391] to God [2316] in [1722] the highest [5310], and [2532] on [1909] earth [1093] peace [1515], good will [2107] toward [1722] men [444].
24 Then [3767] again [1208] [1537] called they [5455] the man [444] that [3739] was [2258] blind [5185], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Give [1325] God [2316] the praise [1391]: we [2249] know [1492] that [3754] this [3778] man [444] is [2076] a sinner [268].
18 There are [2147] not [3756] found [2147] that returned [5290] to give [1325] glory [1391] to God [2316], save [1508] this [3778] stranger [241].
44 How [4459] can [1410] ye [5210] believe [4100], which receive [2983] honour [1391] one of another [3844] [240], and [2532] seek [2212] not [3756] the honour [1391] that cometh from [3844] God [2316] only [3441]?
41 I receive [2983] not [3756] honour [1391] from [3844] men [444].
18 He that speaketh [2980] of [575] himself [1438] seeketh [2212] his own [2398] glory [1391]: but [1161] he that seeketh [2212] his glory [1391] that sent [3992] him [846], the same [3778] is [2076] true [227], and [2532] no [3756] unrighteousness [93] is [2076] in [1722] him [846].
44 How [4459] can [1410] ye [5210] believe [4100], which receive [2983] honour [1391] one of another [3844] [240], and [2532] seek [2212] not [3756] the honour [1391] that cometh from [3844] God [2316] only [3441]?
6 Nor [3777] of [1537] men [444] sought [2212] we glory [1391], neither [3777] of [575] you [5216], nor [3777] yet of [575] others [243], when we might [1410] have been [1511] burdensome [1722] [922], as [5613] the apostles [652] of Christ [5547].
8 By [1223] honour [1391] and [2532] dishonour [819], by [1223] evil report [1426] and [2532] good report [2162]: as [5613] deceivers [4108], and [2532] yet true [227];
43 It is sown [4687] in [1722] dishonour [819]; it is raised [1453] in [1722] glory [1391]: it is sown [4687] in [1722] weakness [769]; it is raised [1453] in [1722] power [1411]:
15 But [1161] if [1437] a woman [1135] have long hair [2863], it is [2076] a glory [1391] to her [846]: for [3754] her hair [2864] is given [1325] her [846] for [473] a covering [4018].
14 Doth [2228] not even [3761] nature [5449] itself [846] teach [1321] you [5209], that [3754], if [1437] [3303] a man [435] have long hair [2863], it is [2076] a shame [819] unto him [846]?
17 For [1063] he received [2983] from [3844] God [2316] the Father [3962] honour [5092] and [2532] glory [1391], when there came [5342] such [5107] a voice [5456] to him [846] from [5259] the excellent [3169] glory [1391], This [3778] is [2076] my [3450] beloved [27] Son [5207], in [1519] whom [3739] I [1473] am well pleased [2106].
9 But [1161] we see [991] Jesus [2424], who [3588] was made [1642] a little [1024] [5100] lower [1642] than [3844] the angels [32] for [1223] the suffering [3804] of death [2288], crowned [4737] with glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092]; that [3704] he [1089] by the grace [5485] of God [2316] should taste [1089] death [2288] for [5228] every man [3956].
7 Thou madest [1642] him [846] a little [1024] [5100] lower [1642] than [3844] the angels [32]; thou crownedst [4737] him [846] with glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] didst set [2525] him [846] over [1909] the works [2041] of thy [4675] hands [5495]:
17 Now [1161] unto the King [935] eternal [165], immortal [862], invisible [517], the only [3441] wise [4680] God [2316], be honour [5092] and [2532] glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
7 That [2443] the trial [1383] of your [5216] faith [4102], being much [4183] more precious [5093] than of gold [5553] that perisheth [622], though [1223] [1161] it be tried [1381] with fire [4442], might be found [2147] unto [1519] praise [1868] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] glory [1391] at [1722] the appearing [602] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
11 Being filled [4137] with the fruits [2590] of righteousness [1343], which [3588] are by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], unto [1519] the glory [1391] and [2532] praise [1868] of God [2316].
6 And [2532] hath made [4160] us [2248] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409] unto God [2316] and [2532] his [846] Father [3962]; to him [846] be glory [1391] and [2532] dominion [2904] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
14 And [1161] when he [846] had spent [1159] all [3956], there arose [1096] a mighty [2478] famine [3042] in [2596] that [1565] land [5561]; and [2532] he [846] began [756] to be in want [5302].
