Romans 1:9

9 And God, whom I so love to worship and serve by spreading the good news of his Son - the Message! - knows that every time I think of you

Romans 1:9 In-Context

7 And I greet you now with all the generosity of God our Father and our Master Jesus, the Messiah.
8 I thank God through Jesus for every one of you. That's first. People everywhere keep telling me about your lives of faith, and every time I hear them, I thank him.
9 And God, whom I so love to worship and serve by spreading the good news of his Son - the Message! - knows that every time I think of you
10 in my prayers, which is practically all the time, I ask him to clear the way for me to come and see you.
11 The longer this waiting goes on, the deeper the ache. I so want to be there to deliver God's gift in person and watch you grow stronger right before my eyes!
