Romans 1:8-15

Legacy Standard Bible

⁸ First, ^(A)I thank my God through Jesus Christ ^[a]for you all, because ^(B)your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world. ⁹ For ^(C)God, whom I ^(D)serve in my spirit in the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how without ceasing ^(E)I make mention of you, ¹⁰ always in my prayers earnestly asking, if perhaps now at last by ^(F)the will of God I may 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 strengthened; ¹² that is, to be mutually encouraged, while among you, by each other’s faith, both yours and mine. ^13 (H)I do not want you to be unaware, ^(I)brothers, that often I ^(J)have planned to come to you (and have been prevented so far) so that I may have some ^(K)fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles. ^14 (L)I am ^[b]under obligation both to Greeks and to ^(M)barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. ¹⁵ In this way, for my part, I am eager to ^(N)proclaim the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
