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. ^13 (H)I do not want you to be unaware, ^(I)brothers and sisters, that often I ^(J)have planned to come to you (and have been prevented so far) so that I may obtain some ^(K)fruit among you also just as among the rest of the Gentiles. ^14 (L)I am ^[c]under obligation both to Greeks and to the ^[d](M)uncultured, both to the wise and to the foolish. ¹⁵ So, for my part, I am eager to ^(N)preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
