Romans 3:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 Of course not! God must be true, though every human being is a liar,[a] as it is written:
“That you may be justified in your words,
and conquer when you are judged.”(A)
5 But if our wickedness provides proof of God’s righteousness, what can we say? Is God unjust, humanly speaking, to inflict his wrath?(B) 6 Of course not! For how else is God to judge the world?
