Chorbishop John D. Faris, Pastor Monday – Friday 9am – 1pm Subdeacon Michael Maynes Epistle Genealogy Sunday Romans 1:1-12 1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— 2 the gospel he prom- ised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life[a] was a de- scendant of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power[b] by his resurrec- tion from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from[c] faith for his name’s sake. 6 And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. 7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul’s Longing to Visit Rome 8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world. 9 God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you 10 in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God’s will the way may be opened for me to come to you. 11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong— 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
