Roma 1:8

Paul’s Desire to Visit Rome

1:8 First of all, ¹  I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

Roma 4:16

4:16 For this reason it is by faith so that it may be by grace, ²  with the result that the promise may be certain to all the descendants – not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who have the faith of Abraham, ³  who is the father of us all

[1:8]  ¹ tn Grk “First.” Paul never mentions a second point, so J. B. Phillips translated “I must begin by telling you….”

[4:16]  ² tn Grk “that it might be according to grace.”

[4:16]  ³ tn Grk “those who are of the faith of Abraham.”
