rsv Romans:1:8-17
rsv@Romans:1:8 @ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.
rsv@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers,
rsv@Romans:1:10 @ asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you.
rsv@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
rsv@Romans:1:12 @ that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
rsv@Romans:1:13 @ I want you to know, brethren, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.
rsv@Romans:1:14 @ I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish:
rsv@Romans:1:15 @ so I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
rsv@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel: it is the power of God for salvation to every one who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
rsv@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, "He who through faith is righteous shall live."
