Romans 1:2
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—
the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
3 regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,
4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
