1PaulG3972, a servantG1401 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424, calledG2822 to be an apostleG652, and set apartG873 forG1519 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316— 2the gospel He promised beforehandG4279 throughG1223 HisG846 prophetsG4396 inG1722 the HolyG40 ScripturesG1124, 3regardingG4012 HisG846 SonG5207, whoG3588 was a descendantG1096G1537G4690 of DavidG1138 according toG2596 the fleshG4561, 4and whoG3588 throughG2596 the SpiritG4151 of holinessG42 was declaredG3724 withG1722 powerG1411 to be the SonG5207 of GodG2316 byG1537 His resurrectionG386 from the deadG3498: JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG1473 LordG2962.
