Romans 3:8

English Standard Version

8 And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just. (Ro 6:1; Ro 6:15) 

New International Version

8 Why not say – as some slanderously claim that we say – ‘Let us do evil that good may result’? Their condemnation is just! 

New International Reader’s Version

8 Why not say, ‘Let’s do evil things so that good things will happen’? Some people actually lie by reporting that this is what we say. They are the ones who will rightly be found guilty. 

King James Version

8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
