Romans 3:5

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

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.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
World English Bible (WEB)
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)
Young's Literal Translation
