Romans 3:7 in other translations
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?
For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
