Their condemnation is just!&#8217; <\/mark><\/em>(Romans 3:7\u202d-\u202c8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul is using a RHETORICAL QUESTION and a FIRST CONDITIONAL (IF). It&#8217;s like asking &#8220;if I buy an expensive house inorder to show how blessed I am, why am I considered wasteful?<br>It doesn&#8217;t mean that I have bought or I want to buy an expensive house but it just means I&#8217;m raising a moral issue which I want to address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul then clearly explains that some people &#8220;slanderous&#8221; (UNTRUTHFULLY) claim that Paul and other Christians say it is right to &#8220;do evil that good may result&#8221;. Paul is sharing an UNTRUTHFUL CLAIM made against him and other apostles.<br>In the following verse (verse 8) Paul then addresses the moral issue of whether it is right to lie\/use falsehoods (EVIL) to enhance God&#8217;s truthfulness and glory (GOOD)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His ANSWER is that those that do this evil (lying to enhance God&#8217;s truthfulness) will receive God&#8217;s CONDEMNATION.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul is even CLEAR about NOT using deception but being truthful before God <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">&#8220;Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.
