1 So, do Jews have anything that other people do not have? Is there anything special about being circumcised?
2 Yes, of course, there is in every way. The most important thing is this: God trusted the Jews with his teachings.
3 If some Jews were not faithful to him, will that stop God from doing what he promised?
4 No! God will continue to be true even when every person is false. As the Scriptures say:“So you will be shown to be right when you speak,and you will win your case.”
5 When we do wrong, that shows more clearly that God is right. So can we say that God is wrong to punish us? (I am talking as people might talk.)
6 No! If God could not punish us, he could not judge the world.
7 A person might say, “When I lie, it really gives him glory, because my lie shows God’s truth. So why am I judged a sinner?”
