Exegesis
The verb eperisseusen {ἐπερίσσευσεν | eperís-seu-sen} is aorist active indicative, portraying the action of “abounding” as a complete event, and it governs the prepositional phrase eis tēn doxan autou {εἰς τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ | eis tēn dóxan autou}, where eis with the accusative indicates movement or result “into His glory.”
In context — Romans 3:7
But if the truth of God has abounded through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
