Romans 1:13-15

13I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, that I planned many times to visit you, but I was prevented until now. I want to work among you and see spiritual fruit, just as I have seen among other Gentiles.

14For I have a great sense of obligation to people in both the civilized world and the rest of the world, to the educated and uneducated alike.

15So I am eager to come to you in Rome, too, to preach the Good News.
