Paul the same Paul we can follow through the Book of Acts
Date/Place:
About 57AD just before Paul travelled back to Jerusalem (see Acts 20) he was probably staying in Corinth
Romans 1:1-7 (my translation) Paul the slave of Jesus Christ, invited to be an apostle and separated into the good news of God, the same good news that is the promise of old declared through the sacred words of His prophets about His son who is the offspring of David in flesh, having been appointed the son of God in power through a spirit of holiness out of resurrection from death, Jesus Christ our Lord has given us grace and apostleship to bring obedient faith in all nations through His name, including you called of Jesus Christ; to all of you in Rome unconditionally loved of God, called to be separated, grace to you all and peace through God our father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 1:1-7 (NASB) Paul, a bond servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh, who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for his names sake, among whom you are also called of Jesus Christ; to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 1:1-7 (NKJV) Paul, a bond servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God, which He promised before through His prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for his name, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ; 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.
