That means righteousness is still obtainable even if you lie to the German officer to save your friend/family.
So after saving your god's chosen people, I have to ask forgiveness for not telling the truth?? And only then do I get the righteousness? I often lied to my grandmother as a kid. I would tell her that I was going to the arcade when I was really going to play football because she was terrified that I would get seriously hurt playing that sport. There was no malicious intent in that lie ... therefore there is no sin, unrighteousness, etc etc.
If you and/or your god think there is, that's your business, but I know many Christians who do not think the way you do. Are you a true Christian or are they?
... let me just guess ...
