Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.

Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.

Yes, there are great benefits! First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the whole revelation of God.

Considerable in every way. First, they were entrusted with the very words of God.

Great in every respect. First, that they were entrusted with the actual words of God.

Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God.

Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God.

Considerable in every way. First, they were entrusted with the spoken words of God.

Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

Actually, there are many advantages. First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.

Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.

Moses was with the Israelites in the desert. He was with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai. Moses was with our people of long ago. He received living words to pass on to us.

“ You came down on Mount Sinai. From heaven you spoke to our people. You gave them rules and laws. Those laws are right and fair. You gave them orders and commands that are good.You taught them about your holy Sabbath day. You gave them commands, orders and laws. You did it through your servant Moses.

They are the people of Israel. They have been adopted as God’s children. God’s glory belongs to them. So do the covenants. They received the law. They were taught to worship in the temple. They were given the promises.

He has made his word known to the people of Jacob. He has made his laws and rules known to Israel.He hasn’t done that for any other nation. They don’t know his laws. Praise the Lord.

The Lord our God is near us every time we pray to him. What other nation is great enough to have its gods that close to them?I’m giving you the laws of the Lord today. What other nation is great enough to have rules and laws as fair as these?

By this time you should be teachers. But in fact, you need someone to teach you all over again. You need even the simple truths of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food.

We won’t hide them from our children. We will tell them to those who live after us. We will tell them what the Lord has done that is worthy of praise. We will talk about his power and the wonderful things he has done.He gave laws to the people of Jacob. He gave Israel their law. He commanded our people who lived before us to teach his laws to their children.Then those born later would know his laws. Even their children yet to come would know them. And they in turn would tell their children.Then they would put their trust in God. They would not forget what he had done. They would obey his commands.

You have known the Holy Scriptures ever since you were a little child. They are able to teach you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus.God has breathed life into all Scripture. It is useful for teaching us what is true. It is useful for correcting our mistakes. It is useful for making our lives whole again. It is useful for training us to do what is right.By using Scripture, the servant of God can be completely prepared to do every good thing.

I gave them my rules. I made my laws known to them. The person who obeys them will live by them.I also told them to observe my Sabbath days. That is the sign of the covenant I made with them. I wanted them to know that I made them holy. I am the Lord.

If anyone speaks, they should do it as one speaking God’s words. If anyone serves, they should do it with the strength God provides. Then in all things God will be praised through Jesus Christ. Glory and power belong to him for ever and ever. Amen.

When they were not accepted, it became possible for the whole world to be brought back to God. So what will happen when they are accepted? It will be like life from the dead.The first handful of dough that is offered is holy. This makes all of the dough holy. If the root is holy, so are the branches.Some of the natural branches have been broken off. You are a wild olive branch. But you have been joined to the tree with the other branches. Now you enjoy the life- giving sap of the olive tree root.So don’t think you are better than the other branches. Remember, you don’t give life to the root. The root gives life to you.You will say,“ Some branches were broken off so that I could be joined to the tree.”That’s true. But they were broken off because they didn’t believe. You stand only because you do believe. So don’t be proud, but tremble.God didn’t spare the natural branches. He won’t spare you either.Think about how kind God is! Also think about how firm he is! He was hard on those who stopped following him. But he is kind to you. So you must continue to live in his kindness. If you don’t, you also will be cut off.If the people of Israel do not continue in their unbelief, they will again be joined to the tree. God is able to join them to the tree again.

If I preach because I want to, I get a reward. If I preach because I have to, I’m only doing my duty.

So here is what I ask. Did God turn his back on his people? Not at all! I myself belong to Israel. I am one of Abraham’s children. I am from the tribe of Benjamin.God didn’t turn his back on his people. After all, he chose them. Don’t you know what Scripture says about Elijah? He complained to God about Israel.

When I heard this, I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me,“ Don’t do that! I serve God, just as you do. I am God’s servant, just like believers who hold firmly to what Jesus has taught. Worship God! The Spirit of prophecy tells the truth about Jesus.”

You know what God wants. You agree with what is best because the law teaches you.

Timothy, guard what God has trusted you with. Turn away from godless chatter. Stay away from opposing ideas that are falsely called knowledge.

We also have the message of the prophets. This message can be trusted completely. You must pay attention to it. The message is like a light shining in a dark place. It will shine until the day Jesus comes. Then the Morning Star will rise in your hearts.Above all, here is what you must understand. No prophecy in Scripture ever came from a prophet’s own understanding of things.Prophecy never came simply because a prophet wanted it to. Instead, the Holy Spirit guided the prophets as they spoke. So, although prophets are human, prophecy comes from God.

You study the Scriptures carefully. You study them because you think they will give you eternal life. The Scriptures you study are a witness about me.

“ Abraham replied,‘ They have the teachings of Moses and the Prophets. Let your brothers listen to them.’“‘ No, father Abraham,’ he said.‘ But if someone from the dead goes to them, they will turn away from their sins.’“ Abraham said to him,‘ They do not listen to Moses and the Prophets. So they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”

God was bringing the world back to himself through Christ. He did not hold people’s sins against them. God has trusted us with the message that people may be brought back to him.

The angel said to me,“ You can trust these words. They are true. The Lord is the God who gives messages to the prophets. He sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”

In fact, it was just the opposite. They recognized the task I had been trusted with. It was the task of preaching the good news to the Gentiles. My task was like Peter’s task. He had been trusted with the task of preaching to the Jews.

He promised the good news long ago. He announced it through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures.

Your promises have proved to be true. I love them.

But first I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. No one gives me any help against those princes except Michael. He is your leader.

As far as the good news is concerned, the people of Israel are enemies. This is for your good. But as far as God’s choice is concerned, the people of Israel are loved. This is because of God’s promises to the founders of our nation.God does not take back his gifts. He does not change his mind about those he has chosen.

What if some Jews were not faithful? Will the fact that they weren’t faithful keep God from being faithful?

Follow what the Lord taught you and said to you through me. People who don’t speak in keeping with these words will have no hope in the morning.
