Romans 3:3-5
New American Standard Bible
3 What then? If (A)some [a]did not believe, their [b]unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? 4 [c](B)Far from it! Rather, God must prove to be true, though every person be found (C)a liar, as it is written:
5 But if our unrighteousness [e](E)demonstrates the righteousness of God, (F)what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? ((G)I am speaking from a human viewpoint.)

Romans 3:3-5
New King James Version
3 For what if (A)some did not believe? (B)Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? 4 (C)Certainly not! Indeed, let (D)God be [a]true but (E)every man a liar. As it is written:
(F)“That You may be justified in Your words,
And may overcome when You are judged.”
5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (G)(I speak as a man.)
