13313, Paul the LIAR?

Much of the New Testament is can be attributed to the Apostle Paul, a figure whose words present a great conflict among Christians and between Christians and Muslims.

In Romans 3:5-8
But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is He? (I am speaking in human terms.)
May it never be! For otherwise, how will God judge the world?
But if through my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I also still being judged as a sinner?
And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), "Let us do evil that good may come"? Their condemnation is just.


Question: WHY DOES PAUL HAVE TO LIE TO PROVE GOD'S GLORY? AND WHY DOES HE JUSTIFY IT?
