Romans 1:11-13

11For I long to see you so that I may share with you some spiritual gift, to strengthen and establish you;

12that is, that we may be mutually encouraged and comforted by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

13I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that many times I have planned to come to you, (and have been prevented so far) so that I may have some fruit [of my labors] among you, even as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.
