Context Readings

Jews Still Have An Advantage

5 But if our unrighteousness causes God's plan of justifying men to be better known, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous, who inflicts punishment? I speak as a man. 6 It can not be: for if so, how shall God judge the world? 7 Yet, if the truth of God has, through my lie, been greatly advanced to his glory, why am I still judged as a sinner?
