← Romans 3:7	Romans 3:8 (KJV)	Romans 3:9 →
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?	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.	What then? are we better [than they]? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
