Romans 1:14-17

14 “I am under obligation both to Greeks and to the uncultured, both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome. 16 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. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written: “But the righteous one will live by faith.”


Paul again touches on his idea of predestination: The Gospel is coming to everyone, Jew and Gentile. We are not speaking of God choosing specific individuals. Rather, God has chosen the world. This is why Paul emphasizes that the Gospel has the power to save everyone who believes. The Gospel makes all people righteous regardless of religious or ethnic heritage.
