10 every time I pray. I pray that I will be allowed to come to you, and this will happen if God wants it.
11 I want very much to see you, to give you some spiritual gift to make you strong.
12 I mean that I want us to help each other with the faith we have. Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you.
13 Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that I planned many times to come to you, but this has not been possible. I wanted to come so that I could help you grow spiritually as I have helped the other non-Jewish people.
14 I have a duty to all people—Greeks and those who are not Greeks, the wise and the foolish.
15 That is why I want so much to preach the Good News to you in Rome.
16 I am not ashamed of the Good News, because it is the power God uses to save everyone who believes—to save the Jews first, and then to save non-Jews.
