Romans 3:5-8
Legacy Standard Bible
5 But if our unrighteousness [a](A)demonstrates the righteousness of God, (B)what shall we say? Is the God who inflicts wrath unrighteous? ((C)I am speaking in human terms.) 6 (D)May it never be! For otherwise, how will (E)God judge the world? 7 But if through my lie (F)the truth of God abounded to His glory, (G)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), “(H)Let us do evil that good may come”? [b]Their condemnation is just.

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.
