12 What I mean is that both you and I will be helped at the same time, you by my faith and I by yours.
13 You must remember, my friends, that many times I have planned to visit you, but something has always kept me from doing so. I want to win converts among you also, as I have among other Gentiles.
14 For I have an obligation to all peoples, to the civilized and to the savage, to the educated and to the ignorant.
15 So then, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who live in Rome.
16 I have complete confidence in the gospel; it is God's power to save all who believe, first the Jews and also the Gentiles.
17 For the gospel reveals how God puts people right with himself: it is through faith from beginning to end. As the scripture says, “The person who is put right with God through faith shall live.”
18 God's anger is revealed from heaven against all the sin and evil of the people whose evil ways prevent the truth from being known.
