1 What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision?
2 Much in every way? First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.
3 What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness?
4 Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar. As it is written: So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.
5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God's righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing wrath on us? (I am using human argument.)
6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?
7 Someone might argue, "If my falsehood enhances God's truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?"
8 Why not say---as we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim that we say---"Let us do evil that good may result?" Their condemnation is deserved.
Roman 3: 1-8 NIV
