— Romans 3:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”
“God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. ”
“May 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."”
“Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human being shown up as a liar, just as it is written:“so that you will be justified in your words and will prevail when you are judged.””
“But God is true and every man a liar, as it is written: That thou mayest be justified in thy words and mayest overcome when thou art judged.”
“In no way: but let God be true, though every man is seen to be untrue; as it is said in the Writings, That your words may be seen to be true, and you may be seen to be right when you are judged.”
“God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”
So then, what more is the Jew, or what is the usefulness of circumcision?
Much in every way: First of all, certainly, because the eloquence of God was entrusted to them.
But what if some of them have not believed? Shall their unbelief nullify the faith of God? Let it not be so!
For God is truthful, but every man is deceitful; just as it was written: “Therefore, you are justified in your words, and you will prevail when you give judgment.”
But if even our injustice points to the justice of God, what shall we say? Could God be unfair for inflicting wrath?
(I am speaking in human terms.) Let it not be so! Otherwise, how would God judge this world?
For if the truth of God has abounded, through my falseness, unto his glory, why should I still be judged as such a sinner?
