14. For I have a great sense of obligation to people in both the civilized world and the rest of the world, to the educated and uneducated alike.
15. So I am eager to come to you in Rome, too, to preach the Good News.
16. For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.
17. This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
18. But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
19. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them.
