Romans 1:9-12

9God is the one that I serve with all my spirit. I tell people the message about his Son, which is good news. God himself knows that I pray for you all the time.

10Every time that I pray for you, I ask God for a chance that I might visit you soon. I pray that he will make it possible if that is what he wants.

11I want very much to come and see you. Then I can give some gift from God's Spirit to you. That will help you to be strong as you serve God.

12We can help each other to be strong like that, because both you and I trust Christ.
