Paul's Longing to Visit Rome 8First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.9God, whom I serve with my whole heart in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you10in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God's will the way may be opened for me to come to you.11I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong–12that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.13I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles. 14I am obligated both to Greeks and non–Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.15That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome. 16I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,Or is from faith to faith just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”Hab. 2:4
