Romans 1:13

“Even now he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

And in those days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (a crowd of about 120 persons was there together), and said,

There we found some brothers, and were invited to stay with them for seven days; and thus we came to Rome.

Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is master over a person as long as he lives?

For I do not want you, brothers, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

For this reason I have often been prevented from coming to you;

Now I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.

For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea;

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.

so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and multiplying in the full knowledge of God;

For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, more than once—and yet Satan hindered us.

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.
