SCRIPTURE

"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? But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?" — Romans 3:5-7 (ASV)

(I speak as a man) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? for if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory, why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

Yet I will be. If God will overrule my sin to his own glory, that will make no difference to my responsibility. If I have lied, if I have done wrong in any way, I must be judged and condemned on that account, whatever may be the ultimate result of my sin.
