Romans 1:8-16 (NKJV)
⁸  First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
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 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 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 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 was hindered until now), that I might have some 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.
¹⁶  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
