Romans 1:11For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,Romans 1:12that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.Romans 1:13I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.Romans 1:14I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.Romans 1:15That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.Romans 7:22For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.Romans 9:1I speak the truth in Christ; I am not lying, as confirmed by my conscience in the Holy Spirit.Romans 9:2I have deep sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.Romans 9:3For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood,Romans 10:1Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.Romans 10:2For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.Romans 10:3Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.Romans 11:13I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministryRomans 11:14in the hope that I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.Romans 12:11Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.Romans 15:15However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given meRomans 15:16to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.Romans 15:17Therefore I exult in Christ Jesus in my service to God.Romans 15:18I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,Romans 15:19by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.Romans 15:20In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.Romans 15:21Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”Romans 15:22That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.Romans 15:23But now that there are no further opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,Romans 15:24I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.Romans 15:25Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.Romans 15:26For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.Romans 15:27They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.Romans 15:28So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.Romans 15:29I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.Romans 15:30Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.Romans 15:31Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,Romans 15:32so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.Romans 16:1I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchrea.Romans 16:2Welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her with anything she may need from you. For she has been a great help to many people, including me.1 Corinthians 1:17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.1 Corinthians 1:23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,1 Corinthians 2:1When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.1 Corinthians 2:2For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.1 Corinthians 2:3I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.1 Corinthians 2:4My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,1 Corinthians 2:6Among the mature, however, we speak a message of wisdom—but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.1 Corinthians 2:7No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began.1 Corinthians 2:13And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.1 Corinthians 3:1Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.1 Corinthians 3:2I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready,1 Corinthians 3:5What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.1 Corinthians 3:6I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.1 Corinthians 3:7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.1 Corinthians 4:1So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.1 Corinthians 4:2Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.1 Corinthians 4:3I care very little, however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.1 Corinthians 4:4My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me.1 Corinthians 4:5Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.1 Corinthians 4:6Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.1 Corinthians 4:7For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?1 Corinthians 4:8Already you have all you want. Already you have become rich. Without us, you have become kings. How I wish you really were kings, so that we might be kings with you!1 Corinthians 4:9For it seems to me that God has displayed us apostles at the end of the procession, like prisoners appointed for death. We have become a spectacle to the whole world, to angels as well as to men.1 Corinthians 4:10We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.1 Corinthians 4:11To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
