Romans 3:4-14

ESV

NIV

4 By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, "That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged."
4 Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.”
5 But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)
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 By no means! For then how could God judge the world?
6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?
7 But if through my lie God's truth abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned 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 And why not do evil that good may come?--as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
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 Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin,
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: "None is righteous, no, not one;
10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 no one understands; no one seeks for God.
11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even 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 an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive." "The venom of asps is under their lips."
13 “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.”“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
14 "Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness."
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
