Romans 1:8-12

8First, I thank my God through Messiah Yeshua for all of you, because your faithfulness is made known throughout the whole world.

9For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Good News of His Son. How unceasingly I make mention of you,

10always pleading in my prayers, if somehow by God’s will now at last I will be granted a good journey to come to you.

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.
