<p>3:6 <i>God forbid. For then how shall God judge the world?</i>- God will indeed take vengeance, press the legal case to its ultimate end, in condemning the unbelieving world. The judgment against sin cannot be minimized just because we know that it will not in fact be meted out upon those who believe in Christ- see on Rom. 3:5. I prefer to translate this verse as an exclamation: &ldquo;Because how much i.e. &lsquo;how severely&rsquo; shall God judge the world&rdquo;.</p>
