Romans 3:3-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 What then? If (A)some [a]did not believe, their [b]unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? 4 (B)May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found (C)a liar, as it is written,
5 But if our unrighteousness [d](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 in human terms.) 6 (H)May it never be! For otherwise, how will (I)God judge the world? 7 But if through my lie (J)the truth of God abounded to His glory, (K)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), “(L)Let us do evil that good may come”? [e]Their condemnation is just.
