• An example of this is found in lsaiah 56:1: "Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed." (“Opening Salutations: Romans 1:1-17” by B. Anstey)
• The fact that the righteousness of God and the salvation of the soul were promised in the Old Testament shows that the gospel is something distinct from the "mystery" (Eph. 5:32). (“Opening Salutations: Romans 1:1-17” by B. Anstey)
