Romans 1:6-10

⁶Among whom you in the same way have been marked out to be disciples of Jesus Christ:

⁷To all those who are in Rome, loved by God, marked out as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸First of all, I give praise to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because news of your faith has gone into all the world.

⁹For God is my witness, whose servant I am in spirit in the good news of his Son, that you are at all times in my memory and in my prayers,

¹⁰And that I am ever making prayers that God will give me a good journey to you.
