Audio commentary on this verse

Note 1 at Rom. 3:1: Paul had just proven that the Jews were just as guilty as the pagans whom they disdained (see note 1 at Rom. 2:1, p. 747). This led to the question, "What advantage is there in being a Jew then?" Paul gives the most important answer to that question in verse two (see note 2 at v. 2, below) and then addresses the issue more in Romans 9:4-5.
