Compare all
5 Through Him awe have received grace and apostleship for bobedience to the faith among all nations cfor His name,  
6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;
7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, acalled to be saints: bGrace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  

Desire to Visit Rome

8 First, aI thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that byour faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.  
9 For aGod is my witness, bwhom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that cwithout ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,  
10 making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you.
11 For I long to see you, that aI may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established—  
12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by athe mutual faith both of you and me.  
13 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but awas hindered until now), that I might have some bfruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles.  
14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.
15 So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

The Just Live by Faith

16 For aI am not ashamed of the gospel1 of Christ, for bit is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, cfor the Jew first and also for the Greek.  
17 For ain it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, b“The just shall live by faith.”

Romans 1:7

beloved of God—(Compare Deuteronomy 33:12; Colossians 3:12).

Grace, etc.—(See on John 1:14).

and peace—the peace which Christ made through the blood of His cross (Colossians 1:20), and which reflects into the believing bosom "the peace of God which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7).

from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ—"Nothing speaks more decisively for the divinity of Christ than these juxtapositions of Christ with the eternal God, which run through the whole language of Scripture, and the derivation of purely divine influences from Him also. The name of no man can be placed by the side of the Almighty. He only, in whom the Word of the Father who is Himself God became flesh, may be named beside Him; for men are commanded to honor Him even as they honor the Father (John 5:23)" [OLSHAUSEN].
