Romans 1:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ I am not ashamed of the Good News, because it is the power God uses to save everyone who believes—to save the Jews first, and then to save non-Jews. ¹⁷ The Good News shows how God makes people right with himself—that it begins and ends with faith. As the Scripture says, “But those who are right with God will live by faith.”^[a]

All People Have Done Wrong

¹⁸ God’s anger is shown from heaven against all the evil and wrong things people do. By their own evil lives they hide the truth.
