Romans 3:1-8

There Is None Righteous

3 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? ² Great in every respect. First of all, that ^(A)they were entrusted with the ^(B)oracles of God. ³ What then? If ^(C)some ^[a]did not believe, does their ^[b]unbelief abolish the faithfulness of God? ^4 (D)May it never be! Rather, let God be true and every man ^(E)a liar, as it is written,

⁵ But if our unrighteousness ^[d](G)demonstrates the righteousness of God, ^(H)what shall we say? Is the God who inflicts wrath unrighteous? (^(I)I am speaking in human terms.) ^6 (J)May it never be! For otherwise, how will ^(K)God judge the world? ⁷ But if through my lie ^(L)the truth of God abounded to His glory, ^(M)why am I also still being judged as a sinner? ⁸ And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “^(N)Let us do evil that good may come”? ^[e]Their condemnation is just.
