Romans 3:5-8
New American Standard Bible
5 But if our unrighteousness [a](A)demonstrates the righteousness of God, (B)what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? ((C)I am speaking from a human viewpoint.) 6 (D)Far from it! 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 (just as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “(H)Let’s do evil that good may come of it”? [b]Their condemnation is deserved.
