Romans 3:8
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Why not say, as some slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!
In context
6 Certainly not! In that case, how could God judge the world?
7 However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of 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 deserved!
9 What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.
10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.
