Romans 1:11-16 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

11. I want very much to see you and give you some spiritual gift to make your faith stronger.

12. I mean that I want us to help each other with the faith that we have. Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you.

13. Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that I have planned many times to come to you, but something always happens to change my plans. I would like to see the same good result among you that I have had from my work among the other non-Jewish people.

14. I must serve all people—those who share in Greek culture and those who are less civilized, the educated as well as the ignorant.

15. That is why I want so much to tell the Good News to you there in Rome.

16. I am proud of the Good News, because it is the power God uses to save everyone who believes—to save the Jews first, and now to save those who are not Jews.
