Romans 3:7-9
Expanded Bible
7 A person might say, “When I lie, it really ·gives him [L increases his] glory, because my lie shows God’s truth. So why am I ·judged [condemned as] a sinner?” 8 It would be the same to say, “We should do evil so that good will come.” Some people ·find fault with [slander] us and say we teach this, but ·they are wrong and deserve the punishment they will receive [L their condemnation is just].
All People Are Guilty
9 ·So [L What then?] ·are we Jews [or are we Christians; L are we] ·better than others [or making excuses for ourselves]? ·No [L Not at all]! We have already ·said [charged; made the accusation] that Jews and Gentiles alike are all ·guilty of [or under the power of; L under] 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)
