Romans 3:4-8
New King James Version
4 (A)Certainly not! Indeed, let (B)God be [a]true but (C)every man a liar. As it is written:
(D)“That You may be justified in Your words,
And may overcome when You are judged.”
5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (E)(I speak as a man.) 6 Certainly not! For then (F)how will God judge the world?
7 For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? 8 And why not say, (G)“Let us do evil that good may come”?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their [b]condemnation is just.
