For if by my lie, the truth of God abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as sinful,

For we were saved to hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what is seen, why also hope for that?

Thou will say to me therefore, Why does he still find fault? For who has resisted his purpose?

Rather, O man, who are thou answering back to God? No, will the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why did thou make me this way?

Why? Because it was not from faith but as from works of law. For they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,

But why do thou criticize thy brother? Or also why do thou disdain thy brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
