"And why not say,“Let us do evil so that good may come of it”?– as some who slander us allege that we say.(Their condemnation is deserved!)"
— Romans 3:8, NET Bible
“And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.”
“and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just. ”
“Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, that good may come?" Those who say so are justly condemned.”
“And not rather (as we are slandered and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil that there may come good? Whose damnation is just.”
“Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment.”
“And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.”
But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he?(I am speaking in human terms.)
Absolutely not! For otherwise how could God judge the world?
For if by my lie the truth of God enhances his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner?
And why not say,“Let us do evil so that good may come of it”?– as some who slander us allege that we say.(Their condemnation is deserved!)
The Condemnation of the World What then? Are we better off? Certainly not, for we have already charged that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin,
just as it is written:“There is no one righteous, not even one,
there is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks God.
