If our unrighteousness make the righteousness of God more excellent: what shall we §Bsay? Is God unrighteous which taketh vengeance? I speak after the manner of men. God forbid. For how then shall God judge the world? If the verity of God appear more excellent through my lye / unto his praise / why am I hence forth judged as a sinner? & say not rather (as men evil speak of us / and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil / that good may come thereof. Whose damnation is just.
Yf oure vnrightewesnes make the rightewesnes of God more excellent: what shall we §Bsaye? Is God vnrighteous which taketh vengeaūce? I speake after the maner of mē. God forbid. For how then shall God iudge the worlde? Yf the veritie of God appere moare excellent thorow my lye / vnto his prayse / why am I hence forth iudged as a synner? & saye not rather (as men evyll speake of vs / and as some affirme that we saye) let vs do evyll / that good maye come therof. Whose damnacion is iuste.
What say we then? Are we better then they? No▪in no wise. For we have all ready proved how that both Jews & Gentiles are all under sin / as it is written: There is none1 righteous / no not one: There is none that understandeth / there §Cis none ye seeketh after God / they are all gone out of the way / they are all made unprofitable / there is none that doeth good / no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre / with their tongues they have deceived: the poison of Asps is under their lips. Whose mouths are full of coursing & bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction & wretchedness are in their ways. And the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.
