I want you to know,
brethren,
that I have often
intended
to come to you...
in order
that I may reap
some harvest
among you
as well
as among
the rest
of the
Gentiles.
[Romans 1:13]

For I am
not ashamed
of the Gospel;
it is the power
of God
for salvation
to every one who
has faith,
to the Jew,
first,
and also
to the
Greek.
[Romans 1:16]
