Romans 1:1-7, 13-17
1 |
Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God |
2 |
which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, |
3 |
concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born 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 |
Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, |
6 |
among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ; |
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. |
13 |
Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles. |
14 |
I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise. |
15 |
So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also. |
16 |
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. |
17 |
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." |
