There will be suffering and anguish for every human being who practices doing evil, for Jews first and for Greeks as well.

But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who practices doing good, initially for Jews but also for Greeks as well,

There are all kinds of advantages! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the utterances of God.

What if some of the Jews were unfaithful? Their unfaithfulness cannot cancel God's faithfulness, can it?

What, then, does this mean? Are we Jews any better off? Not at all! For we have already accused everyone, both Jews and Greeks, of being under the power of sin.

Is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the gentiles, too? Yes, of the gentiles, too,

including us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but from the gentiles as well?

Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God about the Jews is that they would be saved.

And so I ask, "They have not stumbled so as to fall, have they?" Of course not! On the contrary, because of their stumbling, salvation has come to the gentiles to make the Jews jealous.

If the Jews do not persist in their unbelief, they will be grafted in again, because God is able to graft them in.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who are in prison with me and are prominent among the apostles. They belonged to the Messiah before I did.

Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.
