‏ Romans 1:16

It is the power of God ( δυναμις θεου εστιν ). This Paul knew by much experience. He had seen the dynamite of God at work.

To the Jew first, and also to the Greek ( Ιουδαιω τε πρωτον κα Hελλην ). Jesus had taught this (Joh 4:22; 10:16; Lu 24:47; Ac 1:8). The Jew is first in privilege and in penalty (Ro 2:9f.). It is not certain that πρωτον is genuine, but it is in 2:9f.
