Someone might argue, "If my falsehood enhances God's truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?"
Prrrft... lying for christ to make him look good. Nice going Paul
I love these types of stuff.
Well.. acts17apologetics on youtube sure could need it. They sorta believe they have all the smashing evidence when it comes to belief. Which is just so wrong
But i get what you mean

Hello, I don't agree with your interpretation here because it is out of context. Paul is actually saying the exact opposite of what you're implying:
5But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 6Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?”8Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is just!
Paul is saying that although as our sin increases, Gods righteousness can be more clearly seen, anyone who thinks that they could use that as an excuse to sin will receive just condemnation. That's pretty clear in verse 8, and his complaint is that he was being slandered by people who claimed he argued that it was okay to sin so Gods grace would increase, as you are actually doing.
