Romans 3:4

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
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.”
World English Bible (WEB)
God forbid{G3361}{G1096}{(G5636)}: yea{G1161}, let{G1096} God{G2316} be{G1096}{(G5737)} true{G227}, but{G1161} every{G3956} man{G444} a liar{G5583}; as{G2531} it is written{G1125}{(G5769)}, That{G3704} thou mightest{G302} be justified{G1344}{(G5686)} in{G1722} thy{G4675} sayings{G3056}, and{G2532} mightest overcome{G3528}{(G5661)} when{G1722} thou{G4571} art judged{G2919}{(G5745)}.
Strong's King James
(4) Never, ever! Rather let יהוה YAHWEH be firmly-true and every man a liar, just as written:'THAT YOU MAY BE DECLARED RIGHTEOUS IN YOUR WORDS, TO CONQUER IN YOUR JUDGING.'
The F.O.G*
[4] Absolutely not! Let God be proven true though every human is exposed as a liar. As Scripture declares about God: "You will be justified in Your words and prevail when You are judged" – human unfaithfulness only highlights divine faithfulness.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
let it not be! and let God become true, and every man false, according as it hath been written, ‘That Thou mayest be declared righteous in Thy words, and mayest overcome in Thy being judged.’
Young's Literal Translation
