16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”The reality of hope in God is made clear in the Bible. If you have a Bible, you may prefer to read from there. Open it now and turn in the New Testament to the book of Romans. (Look in the table of contents if you are uncertain where to find Romans.)
In this letter written by the Apostle Paul to believers in Rome, he first establishes his assurance of the power and availability of salvation to anyone who seeks. Look in the first chaper, the 16th verse.
