Romans 1:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.

9 God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you

10 in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.

11 For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,

12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
