Paul also said, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23.

Man is a hopeless sinner. He is born a sinner, Psalm 51:5. He lives his life before God as a sinner and dies as a sinner.

You may be without hope.
Man is not without hope.

Man without Christ is a hopeless sinner. Man with Christ is still a sinner, Romans 3:23.
