Romans 3:6-8
Worldwide English (New Testament)
6 No, he does not. If he did wrong, how could he judge the world?
7 Maybe I say what is not true. And that makes people praise God more because he is true. Then why does God still judge me and say I have done wrong?
8 Some people say wrong things about us. They say that we say, `Let us do wrong things so that good things will happen.' People who say such things should be punished.

6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?(A) 7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory,(B) why am I still condemned as a sinner?”(C) 8 Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”?(D) Their condemnation is just!

Romans 3:6-8
King James Version
6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
