1. Have the Jews then any advantage over the Gentiles? Or is there any value in being circumcised?
2. Much, indeed, in every way! In the first place, God trusted his message to the Jews.
3. But what if some of them were not faithful? Does this mean that God will not be faithful?
4. Certainly not! God must be true, even though every human being is a liar. As the scripture says,“You must be shown to be right when you speak;you must win your case when you are being tried.”
5. But what if our doing wrong serves to show up more clearly God's doing right? Can we say that God does wrong when he punishes us? (This would be the natural question to ask.)
6. By no means! If God is not just, how can he judge the world?
7. But what if my untruth serves God's glory by making his truth stand out more clearly? Why should I still be condemned as a sinner?
