(5) Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the (f) circumcision for the (g) truth of God, to confirm the promises [made] unto the fathers:
(5) An applying of the example of Christ to the Jews, whom he granted this honour for the promises which he made to their fathers, although they were ever so unworthy, in that he executed the office of a minister among them with marvellous patience: therefore much less ought the Gentiles despise them for certain faults, whom the Son of God esteemed so much.
(f) Of the circumcised Jews, for as long as he lived, he never went out of their midst.
(g) That God might be seen to be true.
