Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God
2
which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
3
concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,
4
and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.
5
Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name,
6
among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;
7
To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,
