Paul’s theme—1:16-17
• The attitude of the proclaimer of the gospel, v. 16a—he was eager (v.
15).
Why? v. 16a
• The characteristic of the proclamation, vv.
16b-17.
o Its potency, v. 16b
It is power when one believer (the power only operates for those who believe)
“Power” is divine power that will bring salvation for man (the gospel IS power)
Nothing but the gospel is the power of God unto salvation
Believe is to rest in God for your eternal salvation
“Jew first”—this is historical order not priority
o Its revelation, v. 17
Righteousness of God
Righteousness of man
Why would the gospel illicit contempt?
