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 9:33

9:33 just as it is written,

Look, I am laying in Zion a stone that will cause people to stumble

and a rock that will make them fall,

yet the one who believes in him will not be put to shame.


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

tn Grk “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.”

sn A quotation from Isa 28:16; 8:14.
