Romans 1:3
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—
2 the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
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.
5 Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
