1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2 (which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy Scriptures,)
3 concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made 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 by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
