7. I am sending this letter to all of you in Rome who are loved by God and appointed to be his people. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
8. First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you. People all over the world are talking about your faith.
9. I serve God with my whole heart. I preach the good news about his Son. God knows that I always remember you
10. in my prayers. I pray that now at last it may be God's plan to open the way for me to visit you.
