indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed in all the world. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/1-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of His Son, is my witness how unceasingly I make mention of you, <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/1-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>always upon my prayers imploring, if perhaps now at last by the will of God I will make a prosperous journey to come to you. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/1-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>For I long to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, to your strengthening, <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/1-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>and, that is, to be encouraged together among you through the faith among one another, both of you and of me. </p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/1-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that many times I purposed to come to you, and was hindered until the present, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentiles. <span class="reftext"><a href="/romans/1-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>I
