Romans 1:12-16
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.
The Power of the Gospel
1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
