Martin Luther's Verse

Lots of people associate Ephesians 2:8-9 as the classic "Luther Verse". However, it was Romans 1:16-17 that actually sparked the flame in Luther's heart that eventually led him to proclaim that salvation came through faith alone-Sola Fide!! Here is that verse:

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel; it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith, for faith; as it is written, "The one who is righteous will live by faith." Romans 1:16-17
