Romans 1:8; Romans 1:16-17

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
