1Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—
2the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
3regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,
4and 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.
5Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.
6And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
7To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
