1
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle and separated unto 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 made of the seed of David according to the flesh,
4
and was 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 ye also are the called of Jesus Christ.
7
To all who are in Rome, beloved of God and 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 that now at length and by any means I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
11
For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift to the end that ye may be established:
12
that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith of both you and me.
13
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I have purposed to come unto you (but was prevented hitherto), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
14
I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the unwise;
15
so, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you also who are at Rome.
