10. every time I pray. I ask that God in his good will may at last make it possible for me to visit you now.
11. For I want very much to see you, in order to share a spiritual blessing with you to make you strong.
12. What I mean is that both you and I will be helped at the same time, you by my faith and I by yours.
13. You must remember, my brothers and sisters, that many times I have planned to visit you, but something has always kept me from doing so. I want to win converts among you also, as I have among other Gentiles.
14. For I have an obligation to all peoples, to the civilized and to the savage, to the educated and to the ignorant.
15. So then, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who live in Rome.
16. I have complete confidence in the gospel; it is God's power to save all who believe, first the Jews and also the Gentiles.
17. For the gospel reveals how God puts people right with himself: it is through faith from beginning to end. As the scripture says, “The person who is put right with God through faith shall live.”
