Romans 1:6-15
English Standard Version
6 including you who are (A)called to belong to Jesus Christ,
7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:
(B)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Longing to Go to Rome
8 First, (C)I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, (D)because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. 9 (E)For God is my witness, (F)whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, (G)that without ceasing I mention you 10 always in my prayers, asking that somehow (H)by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. 11 For (I)I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— 12 that is, that we may be mutually encouraged (J)by each other's faith, both yours and mine. 13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[a] that (K)I have often intended to come to you (but (L)thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some (M)harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 (N)I am under obligation both to Greeks and to (O)barbarians,[b] both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
