11. For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you a certain spiritual grace to strengthen you,
12. specifically, to be consoled together with you through that which is mutual: your faith and mine.
13. But I want you to know, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you, (though I have been hindered even to the present time) so that I might obtain some fruit among you also, just as also among the other Gentiles.
14. To the Greeks and to the uncivilized, to the wise and to the foolish, I am in debt.
15. So within me there is a prompting to evangelize to you also who are at Rome.
16. For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation for all believers, the Jew first, and the Greek.
