11For I have a strong desire to see you, and to give you some grace of the spirit, so that you may be made strong;
12That is to say, that all of us may be comforted together by the faith which is in you and in me.
13You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.
14I have a debt to Greeks and to the nations outside; to the wise and to those who have no learning.
15For which reason I have the desire, as far as I am able, to give the knowledge of the good news to you who are in Rome.
16For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the Greek.
17For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.
