May you have great mercy, peace and love.
May more and more grace and peace be yours as you come to know God and Jesus our Lord.
God the Father knew you ahead of time, and he chose to make you pure and holy through the Spirit’s work. Then you would obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood to make you holy. May more and more grace and peace be given to you.
To all of you in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
May peace and mercy be given to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God.
To Timothy, my true son in the faith. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord give you grace, mercy, and peace.
