Romans 1:1-12

Romans 1:1-12 CSB

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle  , and set apart  for the gospel of God   #— # which he promised beforehand  through his prophets  in the Holy Scriptures #— # concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was a descendant of David  , according to the flesh  and was appointed to be the powerful  Son of God  according to the Spirit of holiness  by the resurrection of the dead. Through him we have received grace and apostleship  to bring about  the obedience  of faith for the sake of his name among all the Gentiles,  , including you who are also called by Jesus Christ.  To all who are in Rome, loved by God,  called  as saints.  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you because the news of your faith  is being reported in all the world.  God is my witness,  whom I serve with my spirit  in telling the good news about his Son #— #that I constantly mention you,  always asking in my prayers that if it is somehow in God’s will, I may now at last succeed in coming to you.  For I want very much to see you,  so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.
