Romans

Romans 1:14–16

¹⁴I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks,^c both to the wise and the foolish. ¹⁵That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.

¹⁶I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.
