Paul Wants To Visit Rome

⁷ All of you there in Rome [i.e., the church there] are also among such obedient believers. You are called Jesus Christ's [people], loved by God and called to be His holy people. May you have unearned favor and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ⁸ First of all, I want to thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being told about throughout the whole world. ⁹ For God, whom I serve wholeheartedly in [preaching] the Gospel of His Son, is my witness [to the truth] of how continually I mention you in my prayers.
