Romans

  1. 1:8  First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
  2. 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;
  3. 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.
  4. 11  For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
  5. 12  That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
  6. 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.
