3 For what if asome did not believe? bWill their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?
4 aCertainly not! Indeed, let bGod be true but cevery man a liar. As it is written:
d“That You may be justified in Your words,
And may overcome when You are judged.”
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? a(I speak as a man.)
6 Certainly not! For then ahow 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?
8 And why not say, a“Let us do evil that good may come”?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their1 condemnation is just.
All Have Sinned
9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that athey are all under sin.
