Romans 1:8-15
New American 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 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.

Romans 1:8-15
American Standard Version
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, [a]that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the [b]gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers 10 making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered [c]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 ye may be established; 12 that is, that I with you may be comforted [d]in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine. 13 And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit [e]in you also, even as [f]in the rest of the Gentiles. 14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to [g]preach the gospel to you also that are in Rome.
