8 First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ our Lord for all of you, because your faith is being talked about all over the world.



9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit with the gospel of his Son, how I always remember you in my prayers;



10 And I always pray that somehow, after all this time, by God’s will, I will come to you in safety.



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 we may be comforted both by faith and by faith in each other.



13 And I would not that ye should be ignorant, brethren, how many times I have desired to come unto you, that, as I have borne fruit among the Gentiles, I also have borne fruit among you. Released

14 I am indebted to the Greeks and Gentiles, to the wise and to the foolish.



15 So I am always ready to preach the Good News to you who live in Rome.
