1
Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
2
Much in every way. To begin with, 1the Jews were entrusted with 2the oracles of God.
33What if some were unfaithful? 4Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?
4
By no means! 5Let God be true though 6every one were a liar, as it is written, 7"That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you 8are judged."
5
But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict 9wrath on us? (10I speak in a human way.)
6
By no means! For then how could 11God judge the world?
7
But if through my lie God's truth abounds to his glory, 12why am I still being condemned as a sinner?
8
And why not 13do evil that good may come?--as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.

Que vantagem, pois, tem o judeu? ou qual a utilidade da circuncisão?
