1What then is the advantage of the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision?

2Much in every way. For first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

3What then? If some were unfaithful, will their unfaithfulness nullify God's faithfulness?

4May it never be! Rather, let God be true, and every person a liar, as it is written: “So that you may be justified in your words and prevail when you are judged.”

6Absolutely not! Otherwise, how will God judge the world?

7But if God’s truthfulness has abounded through my lie for his glory, why am I still being judged as a sinner?

8And why not say—as we are slandered and as some claim that we say—“Let us do evil so that good may come”? Their condemnation is just.
