Romans 3:3-5
English Standard Version

3 (A)What if some were unfaithful? (B)Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? 4 By no means! (C)Let God be true though (D)every one were a liar, as it is written,

(E)“That you may be justified in your words,
    and prevail when you (F)are judged.”

5 But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict (G)wrath on us? ((H)I speak in a human way.)
