Romans 3:7-9
International Children’s Bible
7 A person might say, “When I lie, it really gives God glory, because my lie shows God’s truth. So why am I judged a sinner?” 8 It would be the same to say, “We should do evil so that good will come.” Some people find fault with us and say that we teach this. Those who say such things about us are wrong, and they should be punished.
All People Are Guilty
9 So are we Jews better than others? No! We have already said that Jews and non-Jews are the same. They are all guilty of sin.

Romans 3:7-9
New International Version
7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory,(A) why am I still condemned as a sinner?”(B) 8 Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”?(C) Their condemnation is just!
No One Is Righteous
9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage?(D) Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.(E)
