But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is not God unjust, who taketh vengeance?

And why may we not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm us to say) do evil, that good may come? Whose damnation is just.

I say, of his righteousness in this present time, that he might be just, and yet the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus.

What shall we say then? That our father Abraham hath found according to the flesh?

Cometh this happiness then on the circumcision only, or on the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness.
