Romans 1:1-7 CEV From Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus. God chose me to be an apostle, and he appointed me to preach the good news (2) that he promised long ago by what his prophets said in the holy Scriptures. (3) This good news is about his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ! As a human, he was from the family of David. But the Holy Spirit proved that Jesus is the powerful Son of God, because he was raised from death. (4) (SEE 1:3) (5) Jesus was kind to me and chose me to be an apostle, so that people of all nations would obey and have faith. (6) You are some of those people chosen by Jesus Christ. (7) This letter is to all of you in Rome. God loves you and has chosen you to be his very own people. I pray that God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless you with peace!

(2) The Good News was promised long ago by God through his prophets, as written in the Holy Scriptures. (3) It is about his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: as to his humanity, he was born a descendant of David; (4) as to his divine holiness, he was shown with great power to be the Son of God by being raised from death. (5) Through him God gave me the privilege of being an apostle for the sake of Christ, in order to lead people of all nations to believe and obey. (6) This also includes you who are in Rome, whom God has called to belong to Jesus Christ. (7) And so I write to all of you in Rome whom God loves and has called to be his own people: May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
