Romans 1:14

---

← Romans 1:13	Romans 1:14 (KJV)	Romans 1:15 →
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.	I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.	So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
