“And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.”
Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—'Let us do evil that good may come'? Their condemnation is just. Paul rejects both the objection and any suggestion that his gospel of grace licenses libertinism. Those who genuinely teach evil for the sake of good deserve condemnation (krima). The gospel's freedom is not freedom from moral obligation but freedom for the fulfillment of righteousness.
