13. I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles.
14. I am a debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15. Thus I am eager also to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome.
16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
