Romans 1:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—

2 the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

3 regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,

4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

5 Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.
