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.

Romans 11:11

11:11 I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.

Romans 13:11

Motivation to Godly Conduct

13:11 And do this because we know the time, that it is already the hour for us to awake from sleep, for our salvation is now nearer than when we became believers.


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

tn Grk “that they might fall.”

tn Grk “them”; the referent (Israel, cf. 11:7) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Grk “and this,” probably referring to the command to love (13:8-10); hence, “do” is implied from the previous verses.

tn The participle εἰδότες (eidotes) has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.
