Romans 3:3-8
3What then? If 1some 2did not believe, their 3unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? 44May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found 5a liar, as it is written, “6That You may be justified in Your words, And prevail when You 7are judged.” 5But if our unrighteousness 89demonstrates the righteousness of God, 10what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (11I am speaking in human terms.) 612May it never be! For otherwise, how will 13God judge the world? 7But if through my lie 14the truth of God abounded to His glory, 15why am I also still being judged as a sinner? 8And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “16Let us do evil that good may come”? 17Their condemnation is just.
