Paul’s Apostolic Greeting and Identity

Romans 1:1-7

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God.

Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,

Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh,

Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead:

By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name:

Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:

To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
