Romans 3:5-15

Lexham English Bible LEB

5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? God, who inflicts wrath, [is] not unjust, [is he]? (I am speaking according to a human perspective.)

6 May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?

7 But if by my lying, the truth of God abounded to his glory, why am I also still condemned as a sinner?

8 And [why] not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, in order that good may come [of it]? Their condemnation is just!

9 What then? Do we have an advantage? Not at all. For we have already charged both Jews and Greeks are all under sin,

10 just as it is written, "[There] is no one righteous, not even one;

11 [there] is no one who understands; [there] is no one who seeks God.

12 All have turned aside together; they have become worthless; [There] is no one who practices kindness; [there] is not even one.

13 Their throat [is] an opened grave; they deceive with their tongues; the venom of asps [is] under their lips,

14 whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

15 Their feet [are] swift to shed blood;

6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?

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 Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is just!

9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.

10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;

11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.

12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”

13 “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.”“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”

14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”

15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
