Lectio Epistolae Beati Pauli Apostoli ad Romanos – Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Romans

Romans 1 : 1-6

Paulus, servus Jesu Christi, vocatus Apostolus, segregatus in Evangelium Dei, quod ante promiserat per Prophetas suos in Scripturis sanctis de Filio Suo, qui factus est ei ex semine David secundum carnem : qui praedestinatus est Filius Dei in virtute secundum Spiritum sanctificationis ex resurrectione mortuorum Jesu Christi, Domini nostri : per quem accepimus gratiam, et apostolatum ad obediendum fidei in omnibus gentibus pro Nomine Ejus, in quibus estis et vos vocati Jesu Christi, Domini nostri.

English translation

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, separated unto the Gospel of God, which He had promised before by His prophets in the Holy Scriptures concerning His Son, Who was made to Him of the seed of David according to the flesh, Who was predestined the Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, by Whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for His Name, among whom you are also the called ones of Jesus Christ.
