Romans 3:5

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.

World English Bible (WEB)

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.

Strong's King James

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})

The F.O.G *

(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 Message *

[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.)

Young's Literal Translation

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)

After a dramatic early morning encounter with King Jesus, I just couldn’t put my Bible down. The F.O.G took a hold of me and this website was born. Learn more about the F.O.G.
