Romans 3:5-15

BBE

NIV

5 But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)?
5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)
6 In no way: because if it is so, how is God able to be the judge of all the world?
6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?
7 But if, because I am untrue, God being seen to be true gets more glory, why am I to be judged as a sinner?
7 Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?”
8 Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment.
8 Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is just!
9 What then? are we worse off than they? In no way: because we have before made it clear that Jews as well as Greeks are all under the power of sin;

11 Not one who has the knowledge of what is right, not one who is a searcher after God;
11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
12 They have all gone out of the way, there is no profit in any of them; there is not one who does good, not so much as one:
12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
13 Their throat is like an open place of death; with their tongues they have said what is not true: the poison of snakes is under their lips:
13 “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.”“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
14 Whose mouth is full of curses and bitter words:
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 Their feet are quick in running after blood;
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
