Commentary
Romans 3 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of God's grace and mercy. Paul begins by asking a rhetorical question: "What advantage then has the Jew?" He then answers his own question by stating that the Jews have been given the privilege of being entrusted with the oracles of God. This is a reminder that God has chosen the Jews to be His people and to be the recipients of His divine revelation.
