[3:1] Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
[3:2] Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.
[3:3] What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?
[3:4] By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged.”
[3:5] But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)
[3:6] By no means! For then how could God judge the world?
[3:7] But if through my lie God’s truth abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner?
[3:8] And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
