Romans 3:4-7
New King James Version
4 (A)Certainly not! Indeed, let (B)God be [a]true but (C)every man a liar. As it is written:
(D)“That You may be justified in Your words,
And may overcome when You are judged.”
5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (E)(I speak as a man.) 6 Certainly not! For then (F)how will God judge the world?
7 For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

Romans 3:4-7
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) 7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory,(G) why am I still condemned as a sinner?”(H)
