Romans 3:5-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 But if our unrighteousness highlights[a] God’s righteousness,(A) what are we to say?(B) I use a human argument:[b](C) Is God unrighteous to inflict wrath? 6 Absolutely not! Otherwise, how will God judge the world?(D) 7 But if by my lie God’s truth is amplified to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?(E)

Romans 3:5-7
New International Version
5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly,(A) what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)(B) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?(C) 7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory,(D) why am I still condemned as a sinner?”(E)
