Romans 3:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 Of course not! God must be true, though every human being is a liar,[a] as it is written:
“That you may be justified in your words,
and conquer when you are judged.”(A)
5 But if our wickedness provides proof of God’s righteousness, what can we say? Is God unjust, humanly speaking, to inflict his wrath?(B) 6 Of course not! For how else is God to judge the world?

Romans 3:4-6
New International Version
4 Not at all! Let God be true,(A) and every human being a liar.(B) As it is written:
5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly,(D) what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)(E) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?(F)
