Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? — Paul's diatribe style poses an objection that his gospel of grace might license sin; the rhetorical question introduces the fundamental misunderstanding that divine mercy could justify moral laxity. The Greek μή γένοιτο (mē genoito, "by no means!") forcefully rejects this false inference. This opening establishes the ethical urgency of Christian identity: grace is not permissive but transformative.
