Romans

Romans 1:9–15

⁹God, whom I serve with my spirit^a in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you ¹⁰in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you. ¹¹For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, ¹²that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

¹³I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting^b until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles. ¹⁴I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks,^c both to the wise and the foolish. ¹⁵That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
