This is an unhappy expression, bringing in the name of God where it does not occur. In the O.T. it is chalilah, 'far be it.' Ge 44:7,17, etc. In the N.T. ?? ???????, 'let it not be.' Ro 3:4,6,31, etc.
May it not be! But let God be true, and every man a liar; as it has been written, "That Thou mayest be justified in Thy words; and mayest overcome, when Thou judgest."
It could not be! for, then, how shall God judge the world?
Do we, then, make void the law through faith? It could not be! Yea, we establish the law.
