Romans 1
Reading Romans chapter 1 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.
Verses 1–10
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God.
2 Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,
3 Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh,
4 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:
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name:
6 Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 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.
8 First, I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all: because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make a commemoration of you:
10 Always in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you.
