Romans 1:1-15 ▼

1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, a called apostle having been set apart for the gospel of God,

2 which He promised beforehand through His prophets in Holy Scriptures,

3 concerning His Son, the One having come of the seed of David according to the flesh,

4 the One having been determined the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord,

5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of His name,

6 among whom are you⁺ also, called of Jesus Christ.

7 To all those being in Rome beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you⁺ and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 First indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you⁺, because your⁺ faith is being proclaimed in all the world.

9 For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of His Son, is my witness how unceasingly I make remembrance of you⁺,

10 always upon my prayers, imploring if somehow now at last by the will of God I will make a prosperous journey to come to you⁺.

11 For I long to see you⁺ so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you⁺, to your⁺ being strengthened,

12 and, that is, to be encouraged together among you⁺ through the faith among one another, both of you⁺ and of me.

13 Now I do not want you⁺ to be ignorant, brothers, that many times I purposed to come to you⁺, and was prevented until the present, so that I might have some fruit among you⁺ also, even as among the other Gentiles.

14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to foolish.

15 Thus, as to me, I am ready to preach the gospel also to you⁺ who are in Rome.
