New King James Version Ro 1:1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 2 which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.
5 Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, 6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ; 7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

V.2 God promised Salvation through the prophets of the Old Testament Isa. 53:11 By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors. 1 Peter 1:10 Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, 11 searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.
V3 Salvation through the Lord (God) Jesus (man) Christ (God anointed) born a descendant of King David. 2 Sam. 7:12 When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be his Father, and he shall be My son.

v.7 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We need grace every day 2 Cor. 12:8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. We need His peace every day
