Commentary
Romans 1 is a powerful introduction to the letter of Paul to the Romans. In this chapter, Paul establishes his authority as an apostle of Jesus Christ and explains his mission to preach the gospel to the Gentiles. He begins by expressing his desire to visit the Roman church and to share the gospel with them. He then goes on to explain the righteousness of God, which is revealed through faith in Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that the righteousness of God is available to all who believe in Jesus, regardless of their background or nationality.
