⁸First, ^pI thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, ^qbecause your faith is proclaimed in all the world. ⁹^rFor God is my witness, ^swhom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, ^tthat without ceasing I mention you ¹⁰always in my prayers, asking that somehow ^uby God’s will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. ¹¹For ^vI long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— ¹²that is, that we may be mutually encouraged ^wby each other’s faith, both yours and mine. ¹³I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,³ that ^xI have often intended to come to you (but ^ythus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some ^zharvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles. ¹⁴^aI am under obligation both to Greeks and to ^bbarbarians,⁴ both to the wise and to the foolish. ¹⁵So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
