Actually, there are many advantages. First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.

(as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations"). He is our father in the presence of God whom he believed -- the God who makes the dead alive and summons the things that do not yet exist as though they already do.

Against hope Abraham believed in hope with the result that he became the father of many nations according to the pronouncement, "so will your descendants be."

But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many!

And the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from the many failures led to justification.

For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man many will be made righteous.

Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function,

so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members who belong to one another.

But now there is nothing more to keep me in these regions, and I have for many years desired to come to you

so that you may welcome her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints and provide her with whatever help she may need from you, for she has been a great help to many, including me.
