Romans 3:7

For if by my lie the truth of God enhances ¹  his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner?

Someone might argue, "If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?"

But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner?

"But," some might still argue, "how can God judge and condemn me as a sinner if my dishonesty highlights his truthfulness and brings him more glory?"

It's simply perverse to say, "If my lies serve to show off God's truth all the more gloriously, why blame me? I'm doing God a favor."

But if, because I am untrue, God being seen to be true gets more glory, why am I to be judged as a sinner?

But if through my falsehood God’s truthfulness abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?

For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

For if by my lie the truth of God enhances ¹  his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner?
