“But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)”
But if our unrighteousness brings out God's righteousness, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? I am using a human argument. Paul anticipates an objection: Does not God's justice become apparent through human sin? Does punishing human unrighteousness become unjust? The parenthetical disclaimer signals that Paul is about to reject this antinomian logic.
