Romans 1:11-13

¹¹I pray this because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger spiritually.

¹²I long to visit you in order that you and I might encourage each other by means of our sharing with each other how each of us trusts in Jesus.

¹³My fellow believers, many times I planned to visit you. I certainly want you to know LIT that. But I have not been able to come to you because I have been hindered { things have always prevented me} until the present time. I have wanted to come in order that I might help you to mature spiritually IDM, as I have helped people to mature spiritually in many other non-Jewish groups HYP.
