Romans 1:12

Fellowship and the churchFaith

10 in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.

11 For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,

that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
