Romans 1:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ Jesus was kind to me and chose me to be an apostle,^[a] so that people of all nations would obey and have faith. ⁶ You are some of those people chosen by Jesus Christ.

⁷ This letter is to all of you in Rome. God loves you and has chosen you to be his very own people.

I pray that God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless you with peace!
