But if

But what if my untruth serves God's glory by making his truth stand out more clearly? Why should I be condemned as a sinner?

For the creation was subject to corruption, not by it's own will but by reason of the one who subjected it on the basis of hope.

Is god

Thanks to your stubborn and unrepentant heart, you store up wrath for yourself, in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.

We know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those under the law. Every mouth may be stopped and the entire world may become liable to God for punishment.

He shows mercy to the one he chooses, and he allows others to be stubborn.

Dearly beloved, do not avenge yourselves, instead leave room for divine punishment, for it is written: Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says Jehovah. (Deuteronomy 32:35)

See now that I, even I, am he. There is no god besides me! It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heals. There is no one who can deliver from my hand.

The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

O Jehovah, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth!

Jehovah (YHWH) is a zealous God requiring exclusive devotion (tolerates no rivals). Jehovah takes vengeance (punishment) against his adversaries. He reserves (maintains) wrath (indignation) (displeasure) against his enemies.

It is a righteous thing for God to repay with affliction (great suffering and distress) those who afflict you.

They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: Great and marvelous are your works, Jehovah God, the Almighty; just and true are your ways, you King of the ages (Eternal King) (King of the nations) (King of the holy ones). (Deuteronomy 31:30; 32:4) (Exodus 6:3)

I heard the angel of the waters say: You are righteous, Jehovah, who are, and was, the Holy One, because you have judged these things. (Exodus 3:14)

Rejoice over her, you heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God pronounced judgment for you against her.

I speak

I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. You once presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to sin. Now you present your members as servants to righteousness and sanctification (purification) (holiness).

I say this from a human point of view. Does the law say the same thing?

Brothers, I speak like a man speaks: Though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.

General references

Will you speak wickedly on God's behalf? Will you speak deceitfully for him?

For their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.
