Romans 1:1-7 - Greeting
1 Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, called as an apostle, set apart to declare God's good news, 2 which he promised long ago through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 about his Son, who was physically descended from David, 4 and decisively declared Son of God in his holiness of spirit, by being raised from the dead??esus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we have received God's favor and been commissioned in his name to urge obedience and faith upon all the heathen, 6 including you who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ??7 to all those in Rome whom God loves, who are called to be his people; God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
1 Paul, by the will of God called as an apostle of Jesus Christ, and our brother Sosthenes,
2 to the church of God at Corinth, to those who are consecrated by union with Christ Jesus, and called as God's people, like all those anywhere who call on the name of Jesus Christ, their Lord as well as ours;
3 God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
1 Paul, an apostle not from men nor sent by any man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead??2 and all the brothers who are here with me, to the churches of Galatia;
3 blessing and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who to save us from the present wicked world gave himself for our sins at the will of our God and Father. 5 To him be glory forever and ever! Amen.
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the Thessalonian church in union with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ; God bless you and give you peace.
1 Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to arouse faith in those whom God has chosen, and the comprehension of religious truth, 2 in the hope of eternal life, which God who never lies promised ages ago, 3 and revealed at the proper time in his message, through the preaching with which I have been intrusted at the command of God our Savior,
4 to Titus, my true child in our common faith; God our Father and Christ Jesus our Savior bless you and give you peace.
1 James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends greeting to the twelve tribes that are scattered over the world.
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who are scattered as foreigners over Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 whom God the Father has chosen and predestined by the consecration of the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ, and to be sprinkled with his blood; God bless you and give you perfect peace.
1 Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who through the uprightness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have been given a faith as privileged as ours; 2 God bless you and give you perfect peace through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3 For his divine power has given us every requisite for life and piety, through our coming to know him who through his glory and excellence called us to him. 4 Thus he has given us his precious and splendid promises so that through them you may escape the corrupting influences that exist in the world through passion, and come to share in the divine nature. 5 For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, 6 knowledge with self-control, self-control with steadfastness, steadfastness with piety, 7 piety with a spirit of brotherhood, and the spirit of brotherhood with love.
