TSK · Romans 1:9

Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven. He who vouches for me is on high.

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

God, having raised up his servant, Jesus, sent him to you first, to bless you, in turning away everyone of you from your wickedness."

Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,

For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I'm not lying.

For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

always in every request of mine on behalf of you all making my requests with joy,

But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don't cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,

night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
