1 So, do Jews have anything that others don’t have? Do they get any benefit from being circumcised?
2 Yes, the Jews have many benefits. The most important one is this: God trusted the Jews with his teachings.
3 It is true that some Jews were not faithful to God. But will that stop God from doing what he promised?
4 No, even if everyone else is a liar, God will always do what he says. As the Scriptures say about him, “You will be proved right in what you say, and you will win when people accuse you.” Psalm 51:4
5 When we do wrong, that shows more clearly that God is right. So can we say that God does wrong when he punishes us? (That’s the way some people think.)
