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

In Rome (en Rwmh). One late uncial (G of tenth century) and a cursive omit these words here and one or two other late MSS. omit en Rwmh in verse Romans 1:15. This possibly proves the Epistle was circulated as a circular to a limited extent, but the evidence is late and slight and by no means shows that this was the case in the first century. It is not comparable with the absence of en Efesw in Ephesians 1:1 from Aleph and B (the two oldest and best MSS.).

Beloved of God (agaphtoiv qeou). Ablative case of qeou after the verbal adjective like didaktoi qeou (taught of God) in John 6:45 (Robertson, Grammar, p. 516).

From God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (apo qeou patrov hmwn kai kuriou Ihsou Xristou). "St. Paul, if not formally enunciating a doctrine of the Divinity of Christ, held a view which cannot really be distinguished from it" (Sanday and Headlam). Paul's theology is clearly seen in the terms used in verses Romans 1:1-7.
