Romans 1

Romans 1:16 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, specifically from the Epistle to the Romans written by the Apostle Paul. The verse reads, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek" (ESV). This declaration underscores Paul's unwavering commitment to the message of the Gospel, emphasizing its universal significance and divine power. The phrase "to the Jew first and also to the Greek" highlights the inclusive nature of the Gospel, extending salvation to both Jewish and Gentile believers. In Hebrew, the verse can be translated as כי לא אבוש מהבשורה, כי היא כוח אלוהים לישועה לכל המאמין, ליהודי ראשון וגם ליווני. Other relevant translations include Yo no me avergüenzo del evangelio, porque es poder de Dios para salvación a todo aquel que cree; al judío primeramente, y también al griego in Spanish, and Denn ich schäme mich des Evangeliums nicht; denn es ist eine Kraft Gottes, die selig macht, alle, die daran glauben, zuerst den Juden, auch den Griechen in German. Contextually, this verse is part of Paul's introduction to his letter, where he expresses his eagerness to preach the Gospel in Rome and his deep sense of spiritual debt to both Jews and Greeks.
