Romans

This letter comes from Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ. I was called to be an apostle by God. God appointed me to announce the good news that he had previously promised through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures. The good news is about his Son, whose human forefather was David, but who was revealed as God’s Son by his resurrection from the dead through the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. It was through him that I received the privilege of becoming an apostle to call all nations to obedient trust in him. You are also included among those who were called to belong to Jesus Christ.
