Romans 1.15-17
Paul had a zealous readiness to preach at Rome, and was not dismayed by the contempt he would face. He knew he possessed a mighty bomb, but one of love and grace, that would achieve spiritual conquests to outlast all the power of an empire.
‘So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 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.’
