THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Romans 3:4 in context

Romans 3:1–7

Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?

Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.

For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?

Selected verse

May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written,

“that you might be justified in your words,

and might prevail when you come into judgment.”^†

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.

May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?

For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
