Romans 3:5-8
English Standard Version
5 But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict (A)wrath on us? ((B)I speak in a human way.) 6 By no means! For then how could (C)God judge the world? 7 But if through my lie God's truth abounds to his glory, (D)why am I still being condemned as a sinner? 8 And why not (E)do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.

Romans 3:5-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 But if our unrighteousness highlights[a] God’s righteousness,(A) what are we to say?(B) I use a human argument:[b](C) Is God unrighteous to inflict wrath? 6 Absolutely not! Otherwise, how will God judge the world?(D) 7 But if by my lie God’s truth is amplified to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?(E) 8 And why not say, just as some people slanderously claim we say, “Let us do what is evil so that good may come”?(F) Their condemnation is deserved!
