Romans 3:1-8 - Jews Still Have An Advantage

¹ So what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? ² Considerable in every way. First, they were entrusted with the spoken words of God. ³ What then? If some did not believe, will their unbelief cancel God’s faithfulness? ⁴ Absolutely not! God must be true, even if everyone is a liar, as it is written:

That You may be justified in Your words
and triumph when You judge.

⁵ But if our unrighteousness highlights God’s righteousness, what are we to say? I use a human argument: Is God unrighteous to inflict wrath? ⁶ Absolutely not! Otherwise, how will God judge the world? ⁷ But if by my lie God’s truth is amplified to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? ⁸ And why not say, just as some people slanderously claim we say, “Let us do what is evil so that good may come”? Their condemnation is deserved!
