Romans 1:12-14
Easy-to-Read Version
12 I mean that I want us to help each other with the faith that we have. Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you.
13 Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that I have planned many times to come to you, but something always happens to change my plans. I would like to see the same good result among you that I have had from my work among the other non-Jewish people.
14 I must serve all people—those who share in Greek culture and those who are less civilized,[a] the educated as well as the ignorant.

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,(A) brothers and sisters,[a](B) that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now)(C) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.
14 I am obligated(D) both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.
