Romans 3:5-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

An Absurd Conclusion

⁵ Now if our unrighteousness demonstrates God’s righteousness, what shall we say? God is not unjust in bringing his wrath on us, is he? (I am speaking from a human point of view.) ⁶ Absolutely not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? ⁷ For example,^[a] someone might say, “If by my lie the truth of God increases all the more to his glory, why am I still being judged as a sinner?” ⁸ And why not say (as some slanderously claim we say), “Let us do evil so that good may result.” Their condemnation is deserved.
