But{G1161} if{G1487} our{G2257} unrighteousness{G93} commend{G4921}{(G5719)} the righteousness{G1343} of God{G2316}, what{G5101} shall we say{G2046}{(G5692)}?{G3361} Is God{G2316} unrighteous{G94} who taketh{G2018}{(G5723)} vengeance{G3709}?(I speak{G3004}{(G5719)} as{G2596} a man{G444})
Strong's King James
(5) But if our guilty-unrighteousness commends אֱלֹהִים Elohim's righteousness, what will we say? Elohim who pronounces fury isn't unrighteous is He? I'm speaking according to human terms!
The F.O.G
[5] But some might argue, "If our unrighteousness serves to highlight God's righteousness, isn't God unjust in punishing us? After all, our sin makes His goodness shine brighter!" (I'm using a human argument to explore this logic.)
The F.O.G Paraphrase
And, if our unrighteousness God’s righteousness doth establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak)
