Romans 1:1-10
-
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.
-
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;
-
10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
