13And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that many times I did purpose to come unto you -- and was hindered till the present time -- that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.
14Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor,
15so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who [are] in Rome to proclaim good news,
16for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.
17For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, `And the righteous one by faith shall live,`
18for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness.
19Because that which is known of God is manifest among them, for God did manifest [it] to them,
