Paul's Prayer Class 2
Romans 1: 8 13
8. First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that
your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel
of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always
in my prayers,
10 making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a
way in the will of God to come to you.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some
spiritual gift, so that you may be established ---
12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the
mutual faith both of you and me.
13 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often
planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I
might have some fruit among you also, just as among the
other Gentiles.
