Romans 3:5 in context

  1. 3For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
  2. 4May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written,
    “that you might be justified in your words,
    and might prevail when you come into judgment.”
  3. 5But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
  4. 6May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
  5. 7For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
