Thanksgiving and Desire to Visit Rome
Romans 1:8-15
8
First, I thank my God through Yeshua the Messiah for all of you, because the report of your trust is spreading throughout the whole world.
9
For God, whom I serve in my spirit by spreading the Good News about his Son, is my witness that I regularly remember you
10
in my prayers; and I always pray that somehow, now or in the future, I might, by God’s will, succeed in coming to visit you.
11
For I long to see you, so that I might share with you some spiritual gift that can make you stronger —
12
or, to put it another way, so that by my being with you, we might, through the faith we share, encourage one another.
13
Brothers, I want you to know that although I have been prevented from visiting you until now, I have often planned to do so, in order that I might have some fruit among you, just as I have among the other Gentiles.
14
I owe a debt to both civilized Greeks and uncivilized people, to both the educated and the ignorant;
15
therefore I am eager to proclaim the Good News also to you who live in Rome.
