Romans 3:1-8

1Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?

2Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.

3What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?

4By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, "That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged."

5But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)

6By no means! For then how could God judge the world?

7But if through my lie God's truth abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?

8And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
