- 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, 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."
