regarding
His Son, who was a
descendant of David according to the flesh,
And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of
holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

his eternal power and
Godhead; so that they are without
excuse:

And knowest
his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being
instructed out of the law;
if you know
His will and
approve of what is superior because you are
instructed by the law;
But if our unrighteousness
commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh
vengeance? (I speak as a man)
But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to
inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto
his glory; why yet am I also judged as a
sinner?

sinner?

his grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
and are justified freely by
His grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
Whom God hath set forth to be a
propitiation through faith in
his blood, to declare
his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the
forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time
his righteousness: that he might be just, and the
justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
He did this to
demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to
justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

context was it credited? Was it after
his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.
