Romans 3:4-6

4 By no means! ^aLet God be true though ^bevery one were a liar, as it is written,

^c“That you may be justified in your words,
and prevail when you ^dare judged.”
5 But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict ^ewrath on us? ( ^fI speak in a human way.) 6 By no means! For then how could ^gGod judge the world?
