Romans 3:3-8
3WhatG5101 thenG1063? IfG1487 1someG5100 2did notG569 believeG569, their 3unbeliefG570 will not nullifyG2673 the faithfulnessG4102 of GodG2316, will it? 445FarG3361 fromG3361 it! RatherG1161, GodG2316 must proveG1096 toG1096 beG1096 trueG227, thoughG1161 everyG3956 personG444 be found 6a liarG5583, as it is writtenG1125: “7SoG3704 thatG3704 You are justifiedG1344 in Your wordsG3056, And prevailG3528 8whenG1722 You are judgedG2919.” 5But ifG1487 our unrighteousnessG93 910demonstratesG4921 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316, 11whatG5101 shall we sayG3004? The GodG2316 who inflictsG2018 wrathG3709 is not unrighteousG94, is He? (12I am speakingG3004 fromG2596 aG2596 humanG444 viewpointG2596.) 613FarG3361 fromG3361 it! For otherwise, howG4459 will 14GodG2316 judgeG2919 the worldG2889? 7But ifG1487 throughG1722 my lieG5582 15the truthG225 of GodG2316 aboundedG4052 to His gloryG1391, 16whyG5101 am I alsoG2532 stillG2089 being judgedG2919 as a sinnerG268? 8And why not say (justG2531 asG2531 we are slanderouslyG987 reportedG987 and as someG5100 claimG5346 that we sayG3004), “17Let’s doG4160 evilG2556 that goodG18 may comeG2064 of it”? 18Their condemnationG2917 is deservedG1738.
