Romans 3:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
7 Someone might say, “When I lie, it really gives God glory, because my lie makes his truth easier to see. So why am I judged a sinner?” 8 It would be the same to say, “We should do evil so that good will come.” Many people criticize us, saying that’s what we teach. They are wrong, and they should be condemned for saying that.

9 So are we Jews better than other people? No, we have already said that those who are Jews, as well as those who are not Jews, are the same. They are all guilty of sin.

Romans 3:7-9
New International Version
7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory,(A) why am I still condemned as a sinner?”(B) 8 Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”?(C) Their condemnation is just!
No One Is Righteous
9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage?(D) Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.(E)
