Romans 1:8-15

21st Century King James Version

⁸ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

⁹ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,

¹⁰ making request that now at length and by any means I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

¹¹ For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift to the end that ye may be established:

¹² that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith of both you and me.

¹³ Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I have purposed to come unto you (but was prevented hitherto), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

¹⁴ I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the unwise;

¹⁵ so, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you also who are at Rome.
