Barnes' Notes
Is there unrighteousness with God? Does God do injustice or wrong? This charge has often been brought against the doctrine here advanced. But this charge the apostle strongly repels. He meets it by further showing that it is the doctrine explicitly taught in the Old Testament, (Rom 9:15,17,) and that it is founded on the principles of equity, and on just views of the sovereignty of God, Rom 9:19-23.
God forbid. Rom 3:4.
