People's Commentary (NT)
Romans 3:4
God forbid. The Greek means, literally, "Not so". It does not
follow that God is unfaithful, because he rejects unbelieving Israel,
for his covenant with Israel and his promise to Abraham were
conditional.
Let God be true, but every man a liar. That is, Let us believe
all men to have broken their word, rather than God his.
As it is written. See Psalms 51:4. One of the penitential
psalms, in which David mourns over his own sins.
That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings. God's sayings,
his threatenings, are justified by his judgments. They were in the case
of David. They were also in the rejection of the Jewish nation, in
spite of the promise, when it had rejected the Holy One of Israel.
