Romans 3:8 in Context — Romans 3

6 De maneira nenhuma! De outro modo, como Deus julgará o mundo?

7 Pois se, através da minha mentira, a verdade de Deus foi mais abundante para a sua glória, por que ainda sou também julgado como pecador?

8 E por que não [dizer] : “Façamos o mal, para que venha o bem”, como alguns nos caluniam, afirmando que nós dizemos isto? (A condenação destes é justa).

9 Então, quê? Somos nós melhores? Não, de maneira nenhuma. Pois já delatamos que todos, tanto judeus como gregos, estão debaixo do pecado,

10 como está escrito: Não há justo, nem um sequer.
