“God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”
Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: 'So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judged.' The quotation from Psalm 51:4 establishes that God's truthfulness (alēthēs) and justice emerge through human condemnation. Human unreliability (pseudomai) cannot undermine divine faithfulness. God's character stands independent of human performance; his righteousness is vindicated precisely through the judgment of sin.
