Romanos 3:8 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 3:8

And not rather, as we be slanderously reported
These are the apostle's own words, in answer to the objector he represented; and it is as if he should say, why do not you go on? why do you stop here? "and not rather" say, as we are evil spoken of, and our doctrine is blasphemed:

and as some affirm;
ignorantly and audaciously enough:

that we say;
and teach:

let us do evil that good may come;
a slander cast upon the apostle's doctrine of unconditional election, free justification, and of God's overruling the sins of men for good; and is the same which is cast on ours now, and is no small proof of the likeness and sameness of doctrines:

whose damnation is just;
whose judgment would have been right, and their censure of our doctrines just, had it been true that we held such a principle, taught such a doctrine, or encouraged such a practice: or their condemnation is just, for aspersing our principles and practices in so vile a manner; and all such persons are deserving of damnation, who teach such things, or practise after this sort.

Romanos 3:8 In-Context

6 ¡De ninguna manera! Si Dios no fuera completamente justo, ¿cómo tendría autoridad para juzgar al mundo?

7 «Sin embargo —alguien podría seguir argumentando—, ¿por qué Dios me juzga como pecador si mi mentira realza su veracidad y le da más gloria a él?».

8 Algunos incluso nos difaman asegurando que nosotros decimos: «¡Cuanto más pecamos, mejor!». Los que dicen tales cosas merecen ser condenados.

9 Todos somos pecadores
Ahora bien, ¿llegamos a la conclusión de que los judíos somos mejores que los demás? ¡Para nada! Tal como acabamos de demostrar, todos —sean judíos o gentiles
— están bajo el poder del pecado.

10 Como dicen las Escrituras:
«No hay ni un solo justo,
ni siquiera uno.
