- -The gospel of
Christ,
it
is
the
power
of
God
unto salvation to every one
that
believeth, to the
Jew
first,
and
also
to
the
Greek.
WE
have seen
the
gospel
of Christ
vindicated
in
the
former discourses on
this text, and the glorious
doctrines
of
it guarded
against the various reproaches
of
an únbe-
lieving world
:
We
have
heard what
a
powerful
instru-
ment
it
is
in the
hand
of God
for the
salvation
of
perish-
ing sinners.
We
have been
taught
the
way
to
partake
of
this salvation,
and
that,
is
by believing
;.
and
we
have
learned what
influence
our
faith has
in this
sacred con-
cernment.
I
proceed
now
to the
last
thing which
I
pro-
posed,
and that
is
to
spew
the wide
extent of
this blessing
of
the gospel
;
for
it
brings salvation
to
every
one
that
believes,
to
the
Jew
first,
and
also to
the
Greek.
Where
the word greek
is
used
in
opposition
to
the
bar-
barian,
as
it
is
in
the
fourteenth
verse before
my
text,
it
signifies
the
learned
part
of
mankind,
as
distinguished
from those
that
are unlearned
;
the
Greeks
being the
most famous among the
nations for
wisdom,
knowledge,
or
learning
in
that
day: But
when this same word stands
in
opposition
to
the Jew,
as
it dòes here in
my
text,
then
