## Romans 1:13-17 in Context (Verses 10–20 KJV)
 
 [10 ](/kjv/romans/1/10) Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/romans/1/11) For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
 
 [12 ](/kjv/romans/1/12) That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/romans/1/13) 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.

 [15 ](/kjv/romans/1/15) So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/romans/1/16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/romans/1/17) For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/romans/1/18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
 
 [19 ](/kjv/romans/1/19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed *it* unto them.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/romans/1/20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, *even* his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
