Romans 1:13-15

13I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles.

14I am a debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

15Thus I am eager also to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome.
