Paul's Letter to the Romans

[1:1] Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God, [1:2] which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, [1:3] concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, [1:4] who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, [1:5] through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake; [1:6] among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ; [1:7] to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

[1:8] First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world. [1:9] For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers, [1:10] requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you. [1:11] For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established; [1:12] that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.
