For ^(r)God, whom I ^(s)serve in my spirit in the preaching of the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly ^(t)I make mention of you,

always in my prayers making request, if perhaps now at last by ^(u)the will of God I may succeed in coming to you.

For ^(v)I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be ^[h]established;

that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.

^(w)I do not want you to be unaware, ^(x)brethren, that often I ^(y)have planned to come to you (and have been prevented so far) so that I may obtain some ^(z)fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

^(aa)I am ^[i]under obligation both to Greeks and to ^(ab)barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

So, for my part, I am eager to ^(ac)preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
