God's Righteousness Upheld
For
if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory;
why yet am I also judged as a sinner? Rom 3:7
For if the... Resuming my argument (of Rom. 3:5) if the truth of God is magnified through our lies, or if the faithfulness of God in showing mercy and keeping promise to our fathers is through our unfaithfulness, then why should we be condemned as sinners? Why should we be blamed for something that must contribute so much to the honor and glory of God?
A second question is this: If someone’s lack of truth enhances God’s truthfulness, how can God in fairness condemn (lit., “judge”) him as a sinner? In other words, since sin seemingly benefits God, how could He turn around and judge sinners for their sin?
