8 First, ^aI thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that ^byour faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

9 For ^aGod is my witness, ^bwhom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that ^cwithout ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,

10 making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you.

11 For I long to see you, that ^aI may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established—

12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by ^athe mutual faith both of you and me.

13 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but ^awas hindered until now), that I might have some ^bfruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles.

14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.

15 So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.
