New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
14 For I have a great sense of obligation to people in both the civilized world and the rest of the world, to the educated and uneducated alike.
14
I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
15 So I am eager to come to you in Rome, too, to preach the Good News.
15
That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.
16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
17 This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
17
For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
