Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Romans 1
⁴ who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord,
⁵ through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name’s sake,
⁶ among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;
⁷ to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁸ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.
⁹ For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the preaching of the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly I make mention of you,
¹⁰ always in my prayers making request, if perhaps now at last by the will of God I may succeed in coming to you.
¹¹ For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established;
¹² that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
¹³ I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that often I have planned to come to you (and have been prevented so far) so that I may obtain some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.
¹⁴ I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
