Charles Spurgeon Commentary Romans 3:5-6

"But if our righteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?" — Romans 3:5-6 (ASV)

But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

Whenever anybody insinuates that God is not just, Paul protests against such an idea. "No," he says, "he must necessarily be just because he is God; for how could he judge the world if he were unrighteous?"
