1. Therefore what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the value of circumcision?
2. Actually, there are many advantages. First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.
3. What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God?
4. Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human being shown up as a liar, just as it is written: “so that you will be justified in your words and will prevail when you are judged.”
5. 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.)
6. Absolutely not! For otherwise how could God judge the world?
7. For if by my lie the truth of God enhances his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner?
