Romans 1:11-15
English Standard Version
11 For (A)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 (B)by each other's faith, both yours and mine. 13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[a] that (C)I have often intended to come to you (but (D)thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some (E)harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 (F)I am under obligation both to Greeks and to (G)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.
