Romans 1:14
Romans 1:14 King James Version (KJV)
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
Romans 1:13-15 The Message (MSG)
Please don’t misinterpret my failure to visit you, friends. You have no idea how many times I’ve made plans for Rome. I’ve been determined to get some personal enjoyment out of God’s work among you, as I have in so many other non-Jewish towns and communities. But something has always come up and prevented it. Everyone I meet—it matters little whether they’re mannered or rude, smart or simple—deepens my sense of interdependence and obligation. And that’s why I can’t wait to get to you in Rome, preaching this wonderful good news of God.
