The apostle Paul wrote to the Christian congregation in Rome: “I am longing to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift to you in order for you to be made firm; or, rather, that there may be an interchange of encouragement among you, by each one through the other’s faith, both yours and mine. ” — Romans 1: 11, 12.
अर्थात्‌ यह, कि मैं तुम्हारे बीच में होकर तुम्हारे साथ उस विश्‍वास के द्वारा जो मुझ में, और तुम में है, शान्ति पाऊं । ” — रोमियों १: ११, १२.
