6 Let it not be! For then how shall God judge the world? 7 For if in my lie the truth has more abounded to His glory why am I still judged as a sinner? 8 And not rather, (as we are wrongly accused, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do bad things that good may come? Their condemnation is just.
