Desire to Visit Rome

First, (A)I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that (B)your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. For (C)God is my witness, (D)whom I serve [a]with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that (E)without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, 10 making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you. 11 For I long to see you, that (F)I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established— 12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by (G)the mutual faith both of you and me.

13 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but (H)was hindered until now), that I might have some (I)fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles. 14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise. 15 So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

The Just Live by Faith

16 For (J)I am not ashamed of the gospel [b]of Christ, for (K)it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, (L)for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
