{It is the power of God} (dunamis theou estin). This Paul

{To the Jew first, and also to the Greek} (Ioudai(9369) te pr(9374)on
kai Hell(886e)i). 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 pr(9374)on is genuine, but it is in
 2:9f .
