THE GOSPEL OF GOD FOR ROME

1Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostleAa and set apartb for the gospel of Godc—2which he promised beforehand d through his prophetse in the Holy Scriptures—3concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was a descendant of DavidBf according to the fleshg 4and was appointed to be the powerfulh Son of Godi according to the Spirit of holinessC by the resurrection of the dead. 5Through him we have received grace and apostleshipj to bring aboutD the obediencek of faith for the sake of his name among all the Gentiles,l 6including you who are also called by Jesus Christ.m

7To all who are in Rome, loved by God,n calledo as saints.p

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

PAUL’S DESIRE TO VISIT ROME

8First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you because the news of your faithF is being reported in all the world.q 9God is my witness,r whom I serve with my spirits in telling the good news about his Son—that I constantly mention you,t 10always asking in my prayers that if it is somehow in God’s will, I may now at last succeed in coming to you.u 11For I want very much to see you,v so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, 12that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

13Now I don’t want you to be unaware,w brothers and sisters, that I often planned to come to you (but was prevented until nowx) in order that I might have a fruitful ministryG among you,y just as I have had among the rest of the Gentiles. 14I am obligated both to Greeks and barbarians,Hz both to the wise and the foolish. 15So I am eager to preach the gospelaa to you also who are in Rome.
