6 You people are not Jews, so God sent me to you too. You heard God call out to you to come to Jesus Christ, so now you belong to him.
7 I’m sending this letter to all you people that belong to God, and that live in the city called Rome. God called out to you to come and follow him, and to be his people. I pray to God, and to our leader, Jesus Christ. I ask them to show you that they love you, and to make you feel happy and quiet inside yourselves.
