Romans 1:7-15
New King James Version
7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, (A)called to be saints:
(B)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Desire to Visit Rome
8 First, (C)I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that (D)your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 9 For (E)God is my witness, (F)whom I serve [a]with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that (G)without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, 10 making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you. 11 For I long to see you, that (H)I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established— 12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by (I)the mutual faith both of you and me.
13 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but (J)was hindered until now), that I might have some (K)fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles. 14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise. 15 So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

Plan to Visit Rome
22 For this reason (A)I also have been much hindered from coming to you. 23 But now no longer having a place in these parts, and (B)having a great desire these many years to come to you, 24 whenever I journey to Spain, [a]I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, (C)and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may (D)enjoy your company for a while. 25 But now (E)I am going to Jerusalem to [b]minister to the saints. 26 For (F)it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem. 27 It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For (G)if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, (H)their duty is also to minister to them in material things. 28 Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them (I)this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain. 29 (J)But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing [c]of the gospel of Christ.
