4 Absolutely not!(A) God must be true, even if everyone is a liar,(B) as it is written:
5 But if our unrighteousness highlights[b] God’s righteousness,(D) what are we to say?(E) I use a human argument:[c](F) Is God unrighteous to inflict wrath? 6 Absolutely not! Otherwise, how will God judge the world?(G)

Romans 3:4-6
New International Version
4 Not at all! Let God be true,(A) and every human being a liar.(B) As it is written:
5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly,(D) what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)(E) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?(F)
