5 through whom we have received grace and apostolic mission among all nations for his name, to bring them to the obedience of faith:
6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ.
7 To all that are at Rome, beloved of God, called saints, grace unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 First then I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is proclaimed through the whole world.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospel of his Son, how incessantly I make mention of you,
10 always in my prayers entreating that haply now at last I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God, to come to you.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, in order that you may be established;
12 and that so I may be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and of me.
13 But I would not that ye should be unacquainted, brethren, that oftentimes I have been purposing to come to you (and have been prevented until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentile nations.
14 Both to the Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the ignorant am I a debtor.
15 So, as far as is in my power, I am desirous to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome also.
