Romans 3:8
8 And [kai] not [me] rather, (as [kathos] we be
slanderously reported [blasphemeo], and [kai] as [kathos] some [tis] affirm [phemi] that we [hemas] say [lego],) [hoti] Let us do [poieo] evil [kakos], that [hina] good [agathos] may come [erchomai]? whose [hos] damnation [krima] is [esti] just [endikos]. KJV-Interlinear
8 And
why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with
saying. Their condemnation is just. ESV
Those who cross the line into sin, justify their
actions and beliefs, by claiming that God is glorified as a result of their acts,
therefore making their acts of sin, as noble and right.
A cute play on words and reasoning, which existed in
Pauls day, and was even turned into a prominent religion several centuries
later when Islam came into existence, with its justification of sin as a noble
task to the glory of their god, exclaiming god is great as they carried out
their acts of violence and crime.
When you believe that a god grants you the right to do
as you please, then all morals of society break down and jungle rules take
over. Chaos and tyranny then rule and
destruction and atrocities eventually become the norm. For those who are the victims, then suffering
becomes horrendous. For those who are
the predators, then evil becomes the standard.
However, this is not the rule of God, nor the basis of
His glory.
God is perfect and God is without taint. All evil is condemned and never allowed in
the spiritual plan of God.
Gods glory originates from His divine perfection.
Evil is a slander and a lie and a deceit. It depends on all things false, in order to
succeed. And its success depends on the
suffering of others.
But eventually all evil comes face to face with its
accuser, which is truth, and evil is condemned and destroyed.
And, its condemnation is true and right and just.
