Paul continues his imaginary argument with a Jewish person, answering the questions such a person might have.

## But if our unrighteousness shows the righteousness of God, what can we say? ##

Paul is putting these words in the mouth of the imaginary Jewish person he is talking to. AT: "Because our unrighteousness shows that God is righteous, I have a question:"

## God is not unrighteous, he who inflicts wrath, is he? ##

AT: "Is God, who inflicts wrath on people, unrighteous?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

## I speak according to human logic ##

AT: "I am saying this as an unrighteous person might say it"

## how would God judge the world? ##

Paul uses this rhetorical question to show that the arguments against the Christian gospel are ridiculous, since all Jews believe that God can and will judge all people. AT: "And we all know that God will in fact judge the world!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
