But if our wrongdoing throws God’s righteousness into relief, what shall we say? That God is unjust to bring down his wrath? I am putting it as a man would put it.
In context
3And what if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness cancel the faithfulness of God? 4Never. Let God be true and every human being a liar, as it stands written: “So that you may be proved right in your words and win your case when you are judged.” 5But if our wrongdoing throws God’s righteousness into relief, what shall we say? That God is unjust to bring down his wrath? I am putting it as a man would put it. 6Never. If he were, how could God judge the world? 7But if my lie makes God’s truth overflow to his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?
