For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"

Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
