*
Paul ,
a servant of Jesus Christ ,
called to be an apostle ,
separated unto the gospel of God ,
* (
Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures ,)
*
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord ,
which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh ;
*
And declared to be the Son of God with power ,
according to the spirit of holiness ,
by the resurrection from the dead :
*
By whom we have received grace and apostleship ,
for obedience to the faith among all nations ,
for his name :
*
Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ :
*
To all that be in Rome ,
beloved of God ,
called to be saints :
Grace to you and peace from God our Father ,
and the Lord Jesus Christ .
*
First ,
I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all ,
that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world .
*
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 ;
*
Making request ,
if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you .
*
For I long to see you ,
that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift ,
to the end ye may be established ;
*
That is ,
that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me .
*
Now I would not have you ignorant ,
brethren ,
that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you , (
but was let hitherto ,)
that I might have some fruit among you also ,
even as among other Gentiles .
*
I am debtor both to the Greeks ,
and to the Barbarians ;
both to the wise ,
and to the unwise .
*
So ,
as much as in me is ,
I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also .
*
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ :
for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth ;
to the Jew first ,
and also to the Greek .
*
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith :
as it is written ,
The just shall live by faith .
