Through ·Christ [L whom], ·God gave me the special work of an apostle [L we have received apostleship; C “we” could be a formal way of saying “I,” or could refer to Paul and the other apostles], which was to lead ·people of all nations [the Gentiles] to ·believe and obey [or the obedience that comes from faith; or the obedience that is faith]. I do this work for ·him [L his name]. And you who are in Rome are also among those [C Gentiles] called to belong to Jesus Christ.

To all of you in Rome whom God loves and has called to be ·his holy people [T saints]:

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
