8. First, I thank my God through Yeshua the Messiah for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
9. For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
10. requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
11. For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;
12. that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
13. Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.
14. I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15. So as much as is in me, I am eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
16. For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Messiah, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
