7. To all who are in Rome, beloved of Elohim, called, set-apart ones: Favour to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master יהושע Messiah.
8. First, I truly thank my Elohim through יהושע Messiah for you all, that your belief is spoken of in all the world.
9. For Elohim is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Good News of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,
10. always asking in my prayers, if at all possible, I shall be blessed by the desire of Elohim, to come to you.
11. For I long to see you, so as to impart some spiritual gift to you, for you to be established,
12. and that is, to be encouraged together among you, each by the other’s belief – both yours and mine.
13. And I do not wish you to be unaware, brothers, that I often purposed to come to you, but was hindered until now, in order to have some fruit among you, as also among the other gentiles.
14. I am a debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to foolish.
15. That is why I am so eager to bring the Good News also to you who are in Rome.
16. For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Messiah, for it is the power of Elohim for deliverance to everyone who believes, to the Yehuḏite first and also to the Greek.
