Romans 1:13

Read in context

Romans 1:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.

15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
