Romans 1:7-12

To all those in Rome, loved by God, called to be kedoshim: Grace to you and shalom from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah! First, I thank my God through Messiah Yeshua for all of you, because your faithfulness is made known throughout the whole world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Good News of His Son. How unceasingly I make mention of you, always pleading in my prayers, if somehow by God’s will now at last I will be granted a good journey to come to you. For I long to see you, so I may share with you some spiritual gift to strengthen you. That is to say, we would be encouraged together by one another’s faithfulness—both yours and mine.
