Does the unrighteousness of man glorify God?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Of course not. We glorify God by cleansing our spirit and life through Christ. So we can dispense with the unrighteous version of Romans 3. Paul was not calling himself a sinner, nor does he preach glorifying God and His truth by unrighteously lying about Him and His truth.
So let's break down Romans 3 through the pure eyes of repented saints, and not the darkened eyes of unrepented sinners.
3:1-4 is about the blessedness of having the oracles of God to read for ourselves. However, we see not all readers believe all the words of the Bible. And some try to change some Bible words to conform to their own faith. In this case, the faith and gospel of Christian sinners.
3:5-8 is about the Christian sinners of the day, who taught glorifying God and His grace by their sinning, and slanderously accused Paul of also being a sinner, who supposedly first preached it to them. Some Christian sinners of today are now using Romans 3 to apply it to Paul, and still try to make him another Christian sinner among Christian sinners. The purpose of course is to preach all men into becoming Christian sinners.
In 3:5-8: Paul repeats and then denounces a Christian gospel of justifiable sinning, where God's righteous ends are justified by man's unrighteous means.
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
When he says he speaks as a man, he is speaking as a man in error, not as an apostle preaching the truth of the oracles of God. Paul is repeating what others slanderously preach and say about him. He is not agreeing with them and preaching it as the gospel of Jesus Christ.
But if our unrighteousness...He is not speaking of his own continued unrighteousness, but of their own confession of it.
commend the righteousness of God... He is not agreeing that their unrighteousness commends and honors the righteousness of God.
God commends His love toward sinners, by dying for sinners. God does not commend sinners for their unrighteousness, just because it necessitated the coming of the Lamb of God to earth.
Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? The same Christian sinners that believe their continued unrighteousness commends themselves to God and His forgiveness, also preach that God is unrighteous to then take vengeance upon them with the rest of the world. They say God is not unrighteous to forget their faith, and so judge and condemn them while still sinning with the world.
God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
Paul condemns such accusations against God's righteous judgment, by confirming to immutable truths of the Judge of all the earth in the Bible.
The first is that God will judge the world, whether man believes or agrees with it or not. This confirms Psalms 51 that all sinning is first against God, and not just harmful among men. And so God is entirely justified in judgment every man's works.
Paul also confirms the truth that God does not judge any man with any respect of persons. By responding to Christian arguments about God's judgment, that He will judge the world. It therefore includes Christian men and women in the world. Faith, ideology, religion, and philosophy has nothing to do with God judging us all by works.,
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory;
Once again, the natural extension of the argument is shown to be just as foolish. The idea of man's unrighteousness commending God's love toward man, as though the unrighteous ought be commended for it, is the same as saying the lies of man against God's truth, can possibly glorify God and His word.
why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
And so, the arguments are made to produce an accusation against God judging and taking vengeance on unrighteous sinners. Since it's only because of man doing unrighteously, that the Lamb has come into the world to forgive sins, then why does God judge and condemn the unrighteous for doing so?
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,)
Paul again confirms that he is only repeating what other Christian sinners are reporting about his gospel, and slandering him as being one of them and teaching their Christian gospel of justifiable sinning.
Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
And here is the concluding Christian version of the ends justify the means. But not with God. God neither uses nor commends any man's unrighteousness, especially not them naming His Son's name, in order to achieve His righteous and eternal end game.
All things do work to the good for God and those who love to do His will. But that does not make the doers of evil to be doing good. God's love toward man is commended by dying for sinners, but He in no way commends, honors, nor justifies unrepented sinners for continuing to sin against Him.
God will judge the works of all the world of man and women, without respect of persons. The deeds we do in the end, whether good or evil, are righteously judged as such by God. In the Father's judgement of our work at the end of this life, it is either unto everlasting life to them that repent and do His righteous faith, or unto eternal shame and contempt to them that repent not and do unrighteousness unto death.
