Romans 1:1-4
1 Paul, a (a)bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle (special messenger, personally chosen representative), set apart for [preaching] the (b)gospel of God [the good news of salvation],
2 which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the sacred Scriptures—
3 [the good news] regarding His Son, who, as to the flesh [His human nature], was born a descendant of David [to fulfill the covenant promises],
4 and [as to His divine nature] according to the Spirit of holiness was openly designated to be the Son of God with power [in a triumphant and miraculous way] by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
