Romans 1:8-12 New International Version (NIV)
Paul’s Longing to Visit Rome
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the
world. 9 God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I
remember you 10 in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God’s will the way may be opened
for me to come to you.
11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong— 12 that is, that you and I
may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.
Tagalog: ang pag nanais ni Pablo na dumalaw sa Roma
8 Kaunaunahan, ay nagpapasalamat ako sa aking Dios sa pamamagitan ni Jesucristo tungkol sa inyong lahat, na
ang inyong pananampalataya ay bantog sa buong sanglibutan.
9 Sapagka't ang Dios ang aking saksi, na siyang pinaglilingkuran ko sa aking espiritu sa evangelio ng kaniyang
Anak, na walang patid na aking kayong binabanggit, sa aking mga panalangin,
10 At laging isinasamo ko, kung ngayon sa wakas sa anomang paraan ay magkapalad ako sa kalooban ng Dios
na makarating sa inyo.
11 Sapagka't ninanasa kong makita kayo, upang ako'y makapamahagi sa inyo ng kaloob na ukol sa espiritu,
upang kayo'y mangagsitibay;
11 Sapagka't ninanasa kong makita kayo, upang ako'y makapamahagi sa inyo ng kaloob na ukol sa espiritu,
upang kayo'y mangagsitibay;

Five Characteristics Of A Servant Of God
These characteristics were present in the life and ministry of Paul and are good indicators of any Christian’s spiritual
health.
Romans chapter 1:1-7 is the “greeting and salutations”
1. A Thankful Servant
(Romans 1:8) “First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of
throughout the whole world.”
 A devoted servant of the Lord will be sure to take time, to thank God before anything..
 For this is a will of God. (1 Thess. 5:18). Give thanks in all circumstances;
 For unthankful servant leads a man away from Him.(Rom. 1:21).
2. A Prayerful Servant
“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I
make mention of you always in my prayers;” (Rom. 1:9)
For Paul was a man of prayer.
 If your thoughts or you’ve seen something to your neighbor badly or vice versa’ do not be a fool (tsismes in
north, east, west and south for his or her,, negatively) we must don’t..
 Commit it all to the lord with all your heart and soul through prayer , and let the lords power ruled for,,,.

Sumusunod pa ba ako sa kagustohan mu Panginoon kong nasa langit?
Tama pa po ba ang mga ginagawa ko bilang isang tagapag lingkod mu Panginoon?
Karapatdapat pa ba ako sa iyong harapan aking panginoon?
