Romans 1:8-17
1599 Geneva Bible
8 [a]First I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is [b]published throughout the [c]whole world.
9 For God is my witness (whom I serve in my [d]spirit in the [e]Gospel of his Son) that without ceasing I make mention of you.
10 Always in my prayers, beseeching that by some means, one time or other I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God, to come unto you.
11 For I long to see you, that I might bestow among you some spiritual gift, that you might be strengthened:
12 That is, that [f]I might be comforted together with you, through our mutual faith, both yours and mine.
13 Now my brethren, I would that ye should not be ignorant, how that I have oftentimes purposed to come unto you (but have been let hitherto) that I might have some fruit also among you, as I have among the other Gentiles.
14 I am debtor both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and to the unwise.
15 Therefore, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you also that are at [g]Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: [h]for it is the [i]power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first, and also to the [j]Grecian.
17 [k]For by it the righteousness of God is revealed from [l]faith to faith: [m]as it is written, (A)The just shall live by faith.
