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

the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures

regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David,

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.

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.

And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

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.
