Paul’s Desire to Visit Rome
God’s Power for Salvation
Romans 1: 8-17(NKJV)

Longing to Go to Rome
Rom 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Rom 1:9 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,
Rom 1:10 making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you.
Rom 1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established—
Rom 1:12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
Rom 1:13 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.
Rom 1:14 I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.
Rom 1:15 So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.
The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
Rom 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH."
