Romans 1:1-7 TPT - Paul, a loving and loyal servant of the Anointed One, Jesus. He called me to be his apostle and set me apart with a mission to reveal God’s wonderful gospel. (7) I write to all his beloved chosen ones in Rome, for you are also called as holy ones. May his joyous grace and total well-being, flowing from our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, rest upon you.2 My commission is to preach the good news. Yet it is not entirely new, but the fulfillment of the hope promised to us through his prophets in the sacred Scriptures.3 For the gospel is all about God’s Son. As a man he descended from David’s royal lineage,4 but as the mighty Son of God he was raised from the dead and miraculously set apart with a display of triumphant power supplied by the Spirit of Holiness. And now Jesus is our Lord and our Messiah.5 Through him grace cascaded into us, empowering us with the gift of apostleship, so that we can win people from every nation into the obedience that comes from faith, to bring honor to his name.6 And you are among the chosen ones who are called to belong to Jesus, the Anointed One.

Reference points
Vs 1:1 Galatians 1:15-19 TPT
But then God called me by his grace, and chose me from my birth to be his. [16] He was pleased to unveil his Son in me so that I would proclaim him to the peoples of the world. After I had this encounter, I kept it a secret for some time, sharing it with no one. [17] And I had no desire to run to Jerusalem and try to impress those who had become apostles before me. Instead, I withdrew into the Arabian Desert. Then I returned to Damascus, where I had first encountered Jesus. [18] I remained there for three years until I eventually went up to Jerusalem, met the apostle Peter, and stayed with him for a couple of weeks. [19] The only other apostle I met during that time was Jacob, the Lord’s brother.

Vs 5. 1 Corinthians 15:9-10 TPT
Yes, I am the most insignificant of all the apostles, unworthy even to be called an apostle, because I hunted down believers and persecuted God’s church. [10] But God’s amazing grace has made me who I am! And his grace to me was not fruitless. In fact, I worked harder than all the rest, yet not in my own strength but God’s, for his empowering grace is poured out upon me.

The Grace gifts of Christ
Vs 1:5 Ephesians 4:7-13 TPT
And he has generously given each one of us supernatural grace, according to the size of the gift of Christ. [8] This is why he says: “He ascends into the heavenly heights taking his many captured ones with him, and gifts were given to men.” [9] He “ascended” means that he returned to heaven, after he had first descended from the heights of heaven, even to the lower regions, namely, the earth. [10] The same one who descended is also the one who ascended above the heights of heaven, in order to begin the restoration and fulfillment of all things. [11] And he has appointed some with grace to be apostles, and some with grace to be prophets, and some with grace to be evangelists, and some with grace to be pastors, and some with grace to be teachers. [12] And their calling is to nurture and prepare all the holy believers to do their own works of ministry, and as they do this they will enlarge and build up the body of Christ. [13] These grace ministries will function until we all attain oneness into the faith, until we all experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God, and finally we become one into a perfect man with the full dimensions of spiritual maturity and fully developed into the abundance of Christ.
