⁷ To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:

^(A)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Greeting

^1 (A)The elder to the elect lady and her children, ^(B)whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who ^(C)know ^(D)the truth,

^13 (A)Follow ^(B)the pattern of ^(C)the sound^[a] words ^(D)that you have heard from me, in ^(E)the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
