Romans
Chapter One
Romans 1:1-7
* * *
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle
and set apart for the gospel of God-2 the gospel he
promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy
Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was
a descendant of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness
was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection
from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through him
and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to
call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that
comes from faith. 6 And you also are among those who are
called to belong to Jesus Christ.
7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be
saints:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the
Lord Jesus Christ.
