-
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
-
There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;
-
but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

The Jews and the Law
Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;
-
A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.
-
No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.
-
God’s Faithfulness
What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision?
-
Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.
-
No One Is Righteous
What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.
-
This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,
-
Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
-
even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
-
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
-
For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed
-
They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.
-
Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.
-
Greet Herodion, my fellow Jew. Greet those in the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord.
-
Timothy, my co-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.
