로마서 1장 11-12절

 내가 여러분을 간절히 보고 싶어하는 것은, 여러분에게 신령한 은사를 좀 나누어주어, 여러분을 굳세게 하려고 하는 것입니다. 이것은, 내가 여러분과 함께 지내면서, 여러분과 내가 서로의 믿음으로 서로 격려를 받고자 하는 것입니다. _새번역성경

わたしは， あなたがたに 会うことを 熱望している． あなたがたに 霊の 賜物を 幾分でも 分け 与えて， 力づけたいからである．それは， あなたがたの 中にいて， あなたがたとわたしとのお 互の 信仰によって， 共に 励まし 合うためにほかならない．_口語訳

For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established; that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine. _NASB

The longer this waiting goes on, the deeper the ache. I so want to be there to deliver God’s gift in person and watch you grow stronger right before my eyes! But don’t think I’m not expecting to get something out of this, too! You have as much to give me as I do to you._The Message
