ROMANS 1:1-15
1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto 
the gospel of God,
1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of 
David according to the flesh;
1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of 
holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith 
among all nations, for his name:
1:6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you 
and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is 
spoken of throughout the whole world.
1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his 
Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
1:10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous 
journey by the will of God to come unto you.
1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to 
the end ye may be established;
1:12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith 
both of you and me.
1:13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to 
come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you 
also, even as among other Gentiles.
1:14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, 
and to the unwise.
1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are 
at Rome also.
