1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God,
2 (Which he had promised before by 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 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 are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
