God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

'How shall God judge the world' -The Jew has in essence just claimed that his sin became an occasion for God's praise. But Paul points out, that is true of every man's sin. God has turned man's evil to his glory. The Jewish objector would use God's ability to turn sin to his glory as. shield from wrath. But if the Jewish objector could do it so could EVERY OTHER PERSON! When judgement arrived every man in creation could approach the judgement seat claiming exemption from wrath on the grounds that "my sin helped God". That kind of reasoning would do away with the judgement of the world by God!
