The placing of Romans 1:16-17, within Romans 1, has to be strategic and serves to remind us again, that it is NOT us or our goodness that separates those who love and live for Jesus and His message of the cross. And it's not an issue of who's better, it's about WHO makes them different and gives them an entirely different aim and agenda to live and die for.
Notice where it sits, neatly BETWEEN a body of worshippers and those under wrath. Who are those under wrath? Humanity, as a whole, that stand in a dangerous place without the covering of Jesus' life and death. They're men and women, boy and girls, that do not know, love, treasure, like or desire to know and understand Jesus and His redeeming grace. Fallen humanity, who manifest daily (along with every believer) the very reason we all stand in need of a Redeemer. They who mock or despise or hold in contempt or hate or treat lightly or reduce or redefine or persecute or appreciates but has nothing to do with or simply disregards the claims of Jesus as all man made religious jargon. Regardless of their cultural background, or their values or their contributions to society, they are those who live and breath and function in this world by their own terms, means, feelings and intellect and rely upon anything and everything else BUT the LORD JESUS.
