Romans 1:16-17—A Translation for Pagans

16 I am not ashamed of that declaration

[despite what you say about it]

because it is the actual power of the

divine saving everyone who understands,

“the Jew first” as well as pagans.

17 The deliverance of the divine is being

unveiled through it, [as Psalm 98

those who have faith: as it is written [in

Habakkuk 2:4]:

 

“The Righteous One

by faith

shall live.
