Much in every way

Romans 3:1-8
if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar.
Men have to face judgment before God according to what he has done.
What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.
Paul images the questions of heckler will fling at him and meets their points one by one.
Have the Jews any advantage over others? Yes, the fact that God has entrusted them with his revelation.
Wrongdoing seems to serve a good end, since it highlights God's goodness. So why not 'do evil that good may come' of it? Because God is a just Judge - and the end does not justify the means.
Why?
To do evil has not any excuse. Human arguments are innocence.
Man's foolishness can't nullify God's faithfulness and righteousness.
Jews are the chosen one to get the words of God. But their unfaithfulness couldn't affect God's faithfulness.
Much in every way, God's plans and his ways beyond ours mind.
How?
God is true, people's actions do not affect God's honor and righteousness.
