0:00.0	For I am not ashamed of the gospel, it is the power of God for the salvation to everyone who believes to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
0:11.0	There are those of course who have always thought the preaching of the
0:14.1	gospel is foolishness, is powerless, is vain, and Paul is utterly rejecting that as he'll also do

1:37.0	We're looking together at Paul's introduction to his letter to the Romans. We're looking at the way he has identified himself.
1:47.2	And now, having gotten all the way to Romans 1, verse 7, we see the way he identifies the Romans to whom he is writing, to all those in Rome who
1:58.1	are loved by God and called to be Saints.
