Romans 1:12-14
New Testament for Everyone
12 that is, I want to encourage you, and be encouraged by you, in the faith you and I share. 13 I don’t want you to be unaware, my dear family, that I’ve often made plans to come to you; it’s just that up to now something has always got in the way. I want to bear some fruit among you, as I have been doing among the other nations.
Good news, salvation and the justice of God
14 I am under obligation to Greeks and barbarians alike, you see; both to the wise and to the foolish.
