Romans 3:6-8
New Century Version
6 No! If God could not punish us, he could not judge the world.
7 A person might say, “When I lie, it really gives him glory, because my lie shows God’s truth. So why am I judged a sinner?” 8 It would be the same to say, “We should do evil so that good will come.” Some people find fault with us and say we teach this, but they are wrong and deserve the punishment they will receive.

Romans 3:6-8
New International Version
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!
