Romans 1:1-7
New Matthew Bible
Paul declares his love for the Romans, shows what the gospel is with the fruit of it, and reproves the base nature of the flesh.
1 Paul, the servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle, put apart to preach the gospel of God – 2 the gospel that he promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures 3 that speak of his Son, who was begotten of the seed of David as to the flesh, 4 and was with power identified as the Son of God by the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies since the time that Jesus Christ our Lord rose up from death. 5 By him we have received grace and apostleship to bring all manner of heathen peoples to the obedience of faith, which is in his name. 6 Of such peoples you are a part also, who are Jesus Christ’s by calling.
7 To all you of Rome, beloved of God and saints by calling. Grace be with you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
