What (
note :)
The first address to the Jews ,
or the first anticipating of an objection by the Jews :
what then ,
are the Jews preferred no more than the Gentiles ?
Indeed ,
they are ,
says the apostle ,
by the doing of God ,
for he committed the tables of the covenant to them ,
so that the unbelief of a few cannot cause the whole nation without exception to be cast away by God ,
who is true ,
and who also uses their unworthiness to commend and set forth his goodness .(:
note )
advantage then hath the Jew ?
or what profit [

of circumcision ?

Much every way : (
note :)
The Jews '
state and condition was of principal importance .(:
note )
chiefly ,
because that unto them were committed the Words .
oracles of God .

For what if some did not (

Break the covenant .(:
note )
believe ?
shall their unbelief make the The faith that God gave .
faith of God without effect ?

God forbid :
yea ,
let God be true ,
but every man a liar ;
as it is written ,
That thou mightest be (

That your justice might be plainly seen .(:
note )
justified in thy sayings ,
and mightest overcome Seeing that you showed forth an true token of your righteousness ,
steadfastness and faith ,
by preserving him who had broken his covenant .
when thou art judged .

And (
as we are blamed , &

as some affirme ,
that we say )
why doe we not euil ,
that good may come thereof ?
whose damnation is iust .
