Romans 3:5-8
New English Translation
5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates[a] the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he? (I am speaking in human terms.)[b] 6 Absolutely not! For otherwise how could God judge the world? 7 For if by my lie the truth of God enhances[c] his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner? 8 And why not say, “Let us do evil so that good may come of it”?—as some who slander us allege that we say.[d] (Their[e] condemnation is deserved!)
