Jews Still Have An Advantage

2 There are all kinds of advantages! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the utterances of God. 3 What if some of the Jews were unfaithful? Their unfaithfulness cannot cancel God's faithfulness, can it? 4 Of course not! God is true, even if everyone else is a liar. As it is written, "You are right when you speak, and win your case when you go into court."
