Even the Jew is Guilty

“Even the Jew is Guilty!”

I. The Argument: The Jew is as guilty before God as the Gentile.
“a diatribe”
-----a) Because the Jew commit the same sins (:1)
-----b) Because the Jew knows these sins deserve death (:2)
-----c) Because the delay of wrath on the Jew is to stimulate repentance, not
excuse sin (:3-4)
-----d) Result? (:5)

II. The Objections
-----a) “Ethnic origin should spare me from judgment” (:6-11)
-----b) “Possession of the Law should spare me from judgment” (:12-16)
