- A. 1-2 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
- B. 3a Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
- C. 3b which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
- B'. 4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Romans 1:8–15
- A. 8-10 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
- B. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
- B'. 12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
- A'. 13-15 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles. I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
