Romans 1:1-7

1Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,

2which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

3concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh

4and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

5through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,

6including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,

7To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
