Who is Romans 1:16 addressed to?
Romans 1:16 is addressed to everyone that believeth, not to everyone that worketh. Paul's admonition in that verse is consistently directed to him that believeth, showing that its message is for the one who believes rather than the one who works.
In the transcript, Romans 1:16 is cited, and the question is asked, "To whom?" The answer given is "No, to everyone that believeth." The study contrasts this with "to everyone that worketh?" and then notes that following these Scripture references through, it is always Paul's admonition to him that believeth. Les explains that the verse is therefore addressed to the one who believes, not to the one who works, emphasizing faith as the identifying mark of its recipients.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
