1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God—
2 which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,
2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures
3 who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,
3 regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David,
4 but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,
4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
5 through whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples,
5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake.
6 among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:
6 And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
7 To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.
9 I call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son-- how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,
9 God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
10 always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.
10 in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God’s will the way may be opened for me to come to you.
11 For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;
11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—
12 in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.
12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
13 And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.
13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
14 I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:
14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
15 so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
