Romans 3

"Let God Be True"

 
What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? 
 
 2 Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God. 
 
 3 For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? 
 
 
4 Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written:
 
“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? (I speak as a man.) 
 
 6 Certainly not! For then 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? 

 8 And why not say, “Let us do evil that good may come”?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.
