Romans 3:7 - The Message7-8 It’s simply perverse to say, “If my lies serve to show off God’s truth all the more gloriously, why blame me? I’m doing God a favor.” Some people are actually trying to put such words in our mouths, claiming that we go around saying, “The more evil we do, the more good God does, so let’s just do it!” That’s pure slander, as I’m sure you’ll agree.

See the chapterAmerican Standard Version (1901)7 But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
