3. For what? if some have not believed, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect?
4. Far be the thought: but let God be true, and every man false; according as it is written, So that thou shouldest be justified in thy words, and shouldest overcome when thou art in judgment.
5. But if our unrighteousness commend God's righteousness, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak according to man.
6. Far be the thought: since how shall God judge the world?
7. For if the truth of God, in my lie, has more abounded to his glory, why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8. and not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some affirm that we say, Let us practise evil things, that good ones may come? whose judgment is just.
9. What then? are we better? No, in no wise: for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin:
10. according as it is written, There is not a righteous man, not even one;
11. there is not the man that understands, there is not one that seeks after God.
