This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, but was let - hindered.
hitherto - chiefly by his desire to go first to places where Christ was not known (Rom 15:20-24).
that I might have some fruit - of my ministry
among you also, even as among other Gentiles - The GENTILE origin of the Church at Rome is here so explicitly stated, that those who conclude, merely from the Jewish strain of the argument, that they must have been mostly Israelites, decide in opposition to the apostle himself. (But see on Introduction to this Epistle.)
