Romans 1:9-13
New International Version
9 God, whom I serve(A) in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness(B) how constantly I remember you 10 in my prayers at all times;(C) and I pray that now at last by God’s will(D) the way may be opened for me to come to you.(E)
11 I long to see you(F) so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift(G) to make you strong— 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. 13 I do not want you to be unaware,(H) brothers and sisters,[a](I) that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now)(J) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

Romans 1:9-13
King James Version
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, if by any means now at length 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 ye may be established;
12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
