Romans 1:16

The Power of the Gospel

1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 1 

Romans 10:19

10:19 But again I ask, didn’t Israel understand? 2  First Moses says, “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger.” 3 

1 sn Here the Greek refers to anyone who is not Jewish.

2 tn Grk “Israel did not ‘not know,’ did he?” The double negative in Greek has been translated as a positive affirmation for clarity (see v. 18 above for a similar situation).

3 sn A quotation from Deut 32:21.
