Romans 1:9-13

English Standard Version

^9 (A)For God is my witness, ^(B)whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, ^(C)that without ceasing I mention you ¹⁰ always in my prayers, asking that somehow ^(D)by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. ¹¹ For ^(E)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 ^(F)by each other's faith, both yours and mine. ¹³ I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,^[a] that ^(G)I have often intended to come to you (but ^(H)thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some ^(I)harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.
