Romans 3:5-8
Jubilee Bible 2000
5 And if our iniquity commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Shall for this reason God be unjust who sends punishment? (I speak as a man.)
6 No, in no wise: for then how shall God judge the world?
7 For if the truth of God has more abounded through my lie unto his glory, why even so am I also judged as a sinner?
8 And why not say (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? The condemnation of whom is just.

Romans 3:5-8
New International Version
5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly,(A) what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)(B) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?(C) 7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory,(D) why am I still condemned as a sinner?”(E) 8 Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”?(F) Their condemnation is just!
