AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 1:16 ¶ I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation [from His wrath and punishment] to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior], to the Jew first and also to the Greek. |
Subject: Why does he say "to the Jew first"? |
Bible Note: beva, I really like your answer: "... Salvation came to us (Gentiles) through the Jews. We now have a responsibility to bring salvation to the Jews. ..." Another scripture that I keep in mind that I think applies is: Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
