Opheleia denotes a benefit or gain, whether questioned of circumcision or sought as a motive for flattering speech.

The attested use concerns benefit or gain: Romans 3:1 raises the benefit associated with circumcision, while Jude 1:16 places it in the motive expressed by marveling at faces.

   In Romans 3:1, the nominative singular form occurs in the question about the benefit of circumcision; the APB renders the clause "what is the advantage of circumcision?" In Jude 1:16, the genitive singular form occurs in the phrase describing marveling at faces for gain; the APB renders it "for the sake of advantage."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "advantage" in both cited clauses, once in a question about circumcision and once as the stated aim of marveling at faces. This repetition confirms the verse-level presentation rather than fixing every syntactic detail.
