Desire to Visit Rome

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.

Romans 1:9

I serve (latreuw). Old verb from latron, hire, and latriv, hireling, so to serve for hire, then to serve in general gods or men, whether sacred services (Hebrews 9:9; Hebrews 10:2) or spiritual service as here. Cf. Romans 12:1; Philippians 3:3.

Unceasingly (adialeiptwv). Late adverb for which see I Thessalonians 1:2 f.; I Thessalonians 2:13; I Thessalonians 5:17, only other N.T. examples.

Always (pantote). One might think that Paul prayed for no others, but he uses both adverbs in I Thessalonians 1:2. He seems to have had prayer lists. He never omitted the Romans.
