Desire to Visit Rome
8 First, (A)I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that (B)your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 9 For (C)God is my witness, (D)whom I serve [a]with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that (E)without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, 10 making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you. 11 For I long to see you, that (F)I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established— 12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by (G)the mutual faith both of you and me.
13 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but (H)was hindered until now), that I might have some (I)fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles.

Paul’s Longing to Visit Rome
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you,(A) because your faith is being reported all over the world.(B) 9 God, whom I serve(C) in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness(D) how constantly I remember you 10 in my prayers at all times;(E) and I pray that now at last by God’s will(F) the way may be opened for me to come to you.(G)
11 I long to see you(H) so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift(I) to make you strong— 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. 13 I do not want you to be unaware,(J) brothers and sisters,[a](K) that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now)(L) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
