Paul, [a] a servant of Christ Jesus, [b] called to be an apostle, [c] set apart

for the gospel of God, 2 which [d] he promised beforehand [e] through his

prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, [f] who was

descended from David [g] according to the flesh 4 and [h] was declared to

be the Son of God [i] in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his

resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom [j] we

have received grace and [k] apostleship [l] to bring about the obedience of

faith for the sake of his name [m] among all the nations, 6 including you

who are [n] called to belong to Jesus Christ,

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

[o] Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus

Christ.
