“Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.”
Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God. Paul affirms that Jewish advantage is real and substantial. Entrusted (pisteuō) with the oracles of God (logia theou) places Israel in a unique position as the guardian and custodian of divine revelation. This privilege is not grounds for boasting but for responsibility. The word of God creates obligation, not exemption.
