“What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?”
What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? The question anticipated by chapter 2 is now directly posed. If Jews who disobey are no better than Gentiles, what profit (perisseuo) or benefit (ōpheleō) remains to Jewish identity? The question is not whether it is real but what it is in light of universal accountability before God.
