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.)

5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly,(F) what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)(G)
