2which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

3concerning his Son, who was descended from the offspring of David according to the flesh,

4and who was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead—Jesus the Messiah our Lord,

5Through whom we received grace and apostleship for the obedience of faith among all the nations for the sake of his name,

6among whom you also are, called of Jesus the Messiah,

7To all those in Rome who are beloved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus the Messiah.
