So, to the best of my ability, I am eager to preach the Gospel to all of you in Rome also.

if you know His will and have been taught by the law of Moses to [evaluate and] give approval to what is best;

For if Abraham had been made right with God by doing good deeds he would have had something to boast about, but not in God's presence.

For it was not through [obedience to] law [See 3:31] that the promise to Abraham or his descendants of inheriting [the best of] the world [was made], but through their being considered righteous because of faith [in God].

For you Gentiles were disobedient to God in the past, but now you have obtained [God's] mercy by means of the disobedience of the Jews.
