⁵ But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? God is not wrong to inflict His wrath [on us], is He? (I am speaking in purely human terms.) ⁶ Certainly not! For otherwise, how will God judge the world? ⁷ But [as you might say] if through my lie God’s truth was magnified and abounded to His glory, why am I still being judged as a sinner? ⁸ And why not say, (as some slanderously report and claim that we teach) “Let us do evil so that good may come of it”? Their condemnation [by God] is just.
