Romans 1:5-15 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
5
through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name,
6
including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,
7
To all God's beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the world.
9
For God, whom I serve with my spirit by announcing the gospel a of his Son, is my witness that without ceasing I remember you always in my prayers,
10
asking that by God's will I may somehow at last succeed in coming to you.
11
For I am longing to see you so that I may share with you some spiritual gift to strengthen you—
12
or rather so that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
13
I want you to know, brothers and sisters, b that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.
14
I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish
15
—hence my eagerness to proclaim the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
