⁸ First, ^(A)I thank my God through Jesus Christ ^[a]for you all, because ^(B)your faith is being proclaimed throughout the world. ⁹ For ^(C)God, whom I ^(D)serve in my spirit in the preaching of the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly ^(E)I make mention of you, ¹⁰ always in my prayers requesting if perhaps now, at last by ^(F)the will of God, I will succeed in coming to you. ¹¹ For ^(G)I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be ^[b]established; ¹² that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
