 called to be saints:
 Grace and peace to you
 from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
                                                                                
Paul’s Desire to Visit Rome
1:8 First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
                                                                                1:9 For God, whom I serve in my spirit by preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness that I continually remember you
                                                                                1:10 and I always ask in my prayers, if perhaps now at last I may succeed in visiting you according to the will of God.
                                                                                1:11 For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,
                                                                                1:12 that is, that we may be mutually comforted by one another’s faith, both yours and mine.
                                                                                1:13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles.
                                                                                1:14 I am a debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
                                                                                1:15 Thus I am eager also to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome.
