*
In the first place ,
I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you ,
that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world .
*
For God is my witness ,
whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son ,
how constantly I make mention of you ,
always in my prayers
*
supplicating that ,
if it be possible ,
I may at last through the will of God be favored with an opportunity of coming to you .
*
For I long to see you ,
that I may impart to you some spiritual gift ,
which may be for your confirmation ;
*
that is ,
that I may be edified among you ,
and you also ,
through each other
s faith ,
both yours and mine .
*
But I would not have you ignorant ,
brethren ,
that I often purposed to come to you ,
though I have been hindered hitherto ,
that I might have some fruit of my labors among you also ,
as among the other gentiles .
*
I am debtor both to Greeks and barbarians ,
both to the wise and the unwise .
*
So ,
according to my ability ,
I am ready to preach the gospel to you also in Rome .
*
For I am not ashamed of the gospel ;
for to every believer ,
to the Jew first and also to the Greek ,
it is the power of God unto salvation .
*
For therein is revealed the righteousness which is of God from faith to faith ;
as it is written , "
But the righteous shall live by faith ."
