Romans 1:8-15 - Paul Wants To Visit Rome
8 In the first place, indeed, I praise my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how I unceasingly make mention of you always in my prayer; 10 praying, if by any means I shall be prospered in the will of God to come to you. 11 For I long to see you, in order that I may impart unto you a certain spiritual grace, that you may be established; 12 but this is the consolation among you through faith in one another, both of you and me.
13 But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that frequently I purposed to come to you, and was hindered hitherto, in order that I may have some fruit among you, as well as also among other Gentiles. 14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the wise, and the unwise: 15 so to my utmost ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.
