1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2 Much every * way: chiefly, because * that unto them were committed the oracles of God. 3 For what if some did not believe *? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4 God forbid *: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say *? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) 6 God forbid *: for then how shall God judge the world? 7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? 8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say *,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
