6 And you who are in Rome are also called to belong to Jesus Christ.
7 To all of you in Rome whom God loves and has called to be his holy people:Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 First I want to say that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because people everywhere in the world are talking about your faith.
9 God, whom I serve with my whole heart by telling the Good News about his Son, knows that I always mention you
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.
