But if Jesus and the [[saints]] ''are'' righteous, and the Bible says they are, how then can the Bible say "''no one is righteous, no, not one''"?

See [[Law of Non-Contradiction]] "''Two truths cannot contradict one another''". Conservative Christian believers who believe the Bible is the word of God in human form believe that the Bible does not lie or contradict itself, because God the Author cannot lie or deny Himself.

They disappear when read within the context of the whole of the Bible within the whole history of the understanding (mind) of the whole of the community of the whole body of Christ. This is what is called the ''sensus fidelium'', the "sense of the faithful". See also [[Apostolic succession]] (Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, etc.). Catholics in addition to this also have recourse to the [[Magisterium]].
