Romans 3:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴Of course not! God is true, even if everyone else is a liar. As it is written,

“You are right when you speak,^[a]
and win your case when you go into court.”^[b]

⁵But if our unrighteousness serves to confirm God’s righteousness, what can we say? God is not unrighteous when he vents his wrath on us, is he? (I am talking in human terms.) ⁶Of course not! Otherwise, how could God judge the world?
