“What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.”
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? — Paul restages the earlier objection (6:1): does grace license immorality? The mē genoito again emphatically denies this false inference. The rhetorical pattern underscores that Paul's theology generates constant misreading: grace is so radical, so liberating, that it appears to abolish ethics.
