Romans 1:11-13

¹¹For I long to see you, in order to impart to you some spiritual gift and so give you fresh strength —

¹²or rather that both you and I may find encouragement in each other's faith.

¹³I want you to know, my friends, that I have many times intended coming to see you — but until now I have been prevented — that I might find amongst you some fruit of my labours, as I have already amongst the other nations.
