Reading from Roman 1:15-17 KJV The Gospel is the power of God unto Salvation. St. Paul was not afraid to preach the Good News of the Kingdom through Jesus Christ. He was not afraid to die for preaching the truth.

The Righteous Will Flourish
Those who trust in their riches will wither, but the righteous will flourish like green leaves. Proverbs 11:28
Who are those who will flourish like green leaves? According to the proverb it the righteous who shall flourish. The problem with that is that none of us can be found righteous by our own merit; our own good deeds. Paul wrote to the Romans (3:9-10): What then? Are we any better off? No, not at all; for we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin, as it is written: “There is no one who is righteous, not even one..."
But, God provided us a way to be found righteous in His sight. He sent His only begotten Son to die for us; for our sins; upon the cross. This was for all people.
We are not found righteous by the works of our own hands; but, by faith in the one who died for us. Thanks be to God we are found righteous because of Jesus' work on the cross and we will flourish in the Kingdom of God, now and forever.
