| Romans 1:9 | For God is my witness (Whom I serve in my spirit in the Gospel of His Son) that without ceasing I make mention of you. |
| Romans 1:10 | Always imploring in my prayers that by some means, at one time or other, I might have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come to you. |
| Romans 1:11 | For I long to see you, that I might bestow among you some spiritual gift, that you might be strengthened. |
| Romans 1:12 | That is to say that I might also be comforted with you, through our mutual faith, both yours and mine. |
| Romans 1:13 | Now, my brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant of how often I have intended to come to you (but have been hindered) that I might also have some fruit among you, as I have among the other Gentiles. |
| Romans 1:14 | I am debtor, both to the Greeks and to the barbarians; both to the wise and to the unwise. |
| Romans 1:15 | Therefore, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you also who are in Rome. |
