3:5 What does Paul mean here by saying, "I speak as a man?
Paul means that he was advancing a purely human viewpoint, which questioned the fairness of God for punishing sinners whose sins magnified his righteousness.
Paul presents the viewpoint as futile human reasoning on the basis that if sin was necessary to magnify his righteousness, then God could never condemn sinners (CP V6-8).
