Romans 1:7-15

Murdock(i) 7 to all those who are at Rome, beloved of God, called and sanctified: Peace and grace be with you, from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Messiah. 8 In the first place, I give thanks to God by Jesus Messiah, on account of you all; because your faith is heard of in all the world. 9 And God, whom in spirit I serve in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, that I unceasingly make mention of you, at all times, in my prayers. 10 And I likewise supplicate, that hereafter a door may be opened to me, by the good pleasure of God, to come unto you. 11 For I long much to see you; and to impart to you the gift of the Spirit, whereby ye may be established; 12 and that we may have comfort together, in the faith of both yourselves and me. 13 And I wish you to know, my brethren, that I have many times desired to come to you, (though prevented hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also; even as among other Gentiles, 14 Greeks and barbarians, the wise and the unwise: for to every man am I a debtor, to preach to him. 15 And so I am eager to preach to you also who are at Rome.
