JMNT(i)
5 However (or: But; Now)
if our injustice (disregard for what is right; behavior contrary to the Way pointed out)
continues to stand together with (is jointly establishing; habitually commends)
God’s solidarity in fair and equitable dealings ([covenantal] justice; Way pointed out; rightwised direction),
what shall we continue saying (or: declaring)
? God, the One continuously bringing the personal emotion (inherent fervor; impulse; or: wrath; anger; indignation), [
is]
not unjust! – after the manner of a man (down from [my] humanity)
I normally say, "Certainly not (May it not come to be)!
" (or: [Is] not God, the One repeatedly bringing on the personal emotion against mankind or anger in correspondence to humanity, unjust? I repeatedly say, "It can't happen!"; or: God [is] not unfair by being the one constantly bringing this inherent fervor and impulse against a person. I am now saying, "It could not occur!")
6 Else (or: Otherwise),
how is God constantly making decisions about and repeatedly judging (or, as a future: how will God separate, evaluate and be judging)
the ordered System (the controlling world of society, economy, government and religion; human aggregate)?
7 But [other MSS: For]
if in the result of my lie (or: falsehood-effect)
God’s truth and reality encircles (or: surrounds)
for superabundance into His glory (or: [leading] unto His enhanced reputation and a manifestation which calls forth praise),
why am I also still being continually separated (judged; evaluated)
as one failing to hit the target (as a sinner or an outcast)?
