Greetings from Paul

1 From:^[a] Paul, a servant of Jesus the Messiah,^[b] called to be an apostle and set apart for God’s gospel, ² which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures ³ regarding^[c] his Son. He was a descendant of David with respect to his humanity ⁴ and was declared by the resurrection from the dead to be the powerful Son of God according to the spirit^[d] of holiness—Jesus the Messiah,^[e] our Lord. ⁵ Through him we received grace and a commission as an apostle to bring about faithful obedience among all the gentiles for the sake of his name. ⁶ You, too, are among those who have been called to belong to Jesus the Messiah.^[f]

⁷ To: Everyone in Rome,^[g] loved by God and called to be holy.^[h]

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah,^[i] be yours!
