(2Co 11:21) “I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also. (22) Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.” Consider that before one’s salvation, a Jewish person might very well have been looked down upon. Oh, but once one met Jesus as Savor, the Jews became a favored people of the heart.
