God Is Faithful
3Is there any advantage in being a Jew? Is there any value in being circumcised?
2There is great value in every way! First of all, the Jews have been given the very words of God.
3What if some Jews did not believe? Will the fact that they don’t have faith keep God from being faithful? 4Not at all! God is true, even though every human being is a liar. It is written,
“You are right when you sentence me.
You are fair when you judge me.”
5Doesn’t the fact that we are wrong prove more clearly that God is right? Then what can we say? Can we say that God is not fair when he brings his anger down on us? As you can tell, I am just using human ways of thinking. 6God is certainly fair! If he weren’t, how could he judge the world?
7Someone might argue, “When I lie, it becomes clearer that God is truthful. It makes his glory shine more brightly. Why then does he find me guilty of sin?”
8Why not say, “Let’s do evil things so that good things will happen”? Some people actually lie by reporting that this is what we say. They are the ones who should be found guilty.
