Romans 3:5-8 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who takes vengeance?… 1. Our unrighteousness may possibly commend the righteousness of God. 2. This result is involuntary, not meritorious. 3. Hence to suppose that sin is less punishable because good follows is a grievous error. 4. To persist in sin that good may come, is positively blasphemous and wicked. 5. Therefore God will righteously punish those who do so. (J. Lyth, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) |
