- First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.
- 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,
- always in my prayers making request, if perhaps now at last by the will of God I may succeed in coming to you.
- For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established;
- 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.

- First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.
- God, whom I serve with my whole heart in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you
- in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God's will the way may be opened for me to come to you.
- I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong--
- that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.

- 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.
- I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
- So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
- For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
- For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."

- I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
- I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
- That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome.
- I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
- For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
