What then is the superiority of the Jew? Or what is the advantage of circumcision?
Read uses your browser’s device speech, without a provider key. Studio creates media through a paid provider using your own key. INjeel cannot install voices or guarantee any accent, language, or Syriac voice. System settings and voices exposed to a browser can differ.
iPhone and iPad: In Settings → Accessibility, look for Read & Speak → Voices (called Spoken Content on older versions). Choose a language and dialect. For downloadable enhanced voices, Apple also documents VoiceOver → Speech → Add New Language; choose a voice/quality and allow the download to finish on Wi-Fi. You do not need to enable VoiceOver to use INjeel. Apple’s current guide · iOS/iPadOS voice downloads
Android: Open Settings → Accessibility → Text-to-speech output. Choose the preferred engine and language; use its voice-data/download options where available. Names and paths vary by manufacturer/engine; search Settings for “text-to-speech” if needed. Google’s settings and voice-data guide
macOS: Apple menu → System Settings → Accessibility → Read & Speak. Choose System voice; open its additional voice controls to browse languages, country/region variants and downloadable voices. Wait until downloads finish, then choose the voice. Older versions may use Spoken Content. Apple’s Mac voice guide
Return here and reopen the voice selector. If new voices do not appear, refresh or reopen the app/browser. Select the voice and adjust Speed here; a system default need not override an explicit app selection. Android browsers may use their speech engine rather than a forced voice. Some voices use network services; availability and pronunciation depend on your device/browser, not the scripture’s historical pronunciation.

What then is the superiority of the Jew? Or what is the advantage of circumcision?
܀
Much, in every way. First, because the words of Elohim were entrusted to them.
܀
For if some of them have not believed, have they by not believing nullified the faith of Elohim?
܀
Far from it! For Elohim is true, and every man a liar, as it is written: That you may be upright in your words, and may overcome when they judge you.
܀
But if our injustice establishes the righteousness of Elohim, what shall we say? Is Elohim unjust when he brings his wrath? I am speaking as a man.
܀
Far from it. Otherwise how will Elohim judge the world?
܀
But if the truth of Elohim has been furthered by my falsehood to his glory, why then am I judged as a sinner?
܀
Or as some blaspheme against us and say that we say, Let us do evil things that good results may come? The judgment of such is reserved for justice.
܀
What then? Do we hold a superiority? For we have before decided concerning Yehudaye and Armaye that they are all under sin.
܀
As it is written: There is no righteous, not even one.
܀
And there is none that understands, and none that seeks Elohim.
܀
They have all turned aside together and become worthless, and there is none that does good, not even one.
܀
Their throat is an open grave, and their tongues are deceitful, and the venom of asps is under their lips.
܀
Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness;
܀
and their feet are swift to shed blood.
܀
Destruction and misery are in their paths:
܀
and the way of peace they have not known:
܀
and the fear of Elohim is not before their eyes.
܀
Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are in the law, so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become guilty before Elohim.
܀
Because by the works of the law no flesh is justified before him, for by the law sin is made known.
܀
But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of Elohim is revealed, and the law and the prophets testify to it:
܀
the righteousness of Elohim through the faith of Y'shua the Mashiyach, to everyone and upon everyone who believes in him, for there is no distinction;
܀
because they have all sinned and fall short of the glory of Elohim,
܀
and they are justified freely by grace and by the redemption that is in Y'shua the Mashiyach;
܀
This one whom Elohim set beforehand as a covering by faith in his blood, because of our sins which we sinned from before,
܀
in the place that Elohim gave us in the long-suffering of his spirit, for the showing of his righteousness in this time, that he might be righteous and might justify in righteousness the one who is in the faith of our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach.
܀
Where then is boasting? It is made void. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.
܀
We therefore reckon that a man is justified by faith and not by the works of the law.
܀
For is Elohim of the Yehudaye only, and not of the peoples? Yes, also of the peoples.
܀
Because there is one Elohim who justifies circumcision by faith, and also uncircumcision by the same faith.
܀
Do we then nullify the law by faith? Far be it. On the contrary, we establish the law.
