The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
16 For dI am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is ethe power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew ffirst and also to gthe Greek.
17 So zfaith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
1 Brothers,1 my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach1 to save those who believe.
The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles
