Romans 1:11-13

11For I long to see you, so I may share with you some spiritual gift to strengthen you.

12That is to say, we would be encouraged together by one another’s faithfulness—both yours and mine.

13I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that many times I planned to come to you (though I was prevented until now)—so I might have some fruit among you also, just as I have among the rest of the nations.
