| King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 10 Making request , if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. | 10 in 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. |
| 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established ; | 11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong-- |
| 12 That is , that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. | 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith. |
| 13 Now I would not have you ignorant , brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto ,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles. | 13 I 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. |
| 14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. | 14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. |
| 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. | 15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome. |
