Commentary on Romans 3:6

Theological / Devotional

God forbid. See on v. 4.

How shall God judge? That God will judge the world is assumed as needing no proof. Certainly Paul would not need to persuade Jews of this fundamental truth (see, for example, Eccl. 12:14). Therefore, since it is generally agreed that God will be the judge of the world, the conclusion suggested in v. 5, that He is unjust in punishing sin, must be rejected. Or if it is unjust for God to condemn and punish sin because sin has indirectly served to establish His righteousness, how can He judge at all?
