Rom 15:23. Κλίμασι, regions) This term is applied in contradistinction to the political divisions of the world; for the Gospel does not usually follow such divisions; even the fruit of the Reformation at a very early period had an existence beyond Germany.-ἐπιποθίαν ἔχων) This signifies something more than ἐπιποθῶν.[160]
[160] The former implies a lasting state of mind: the latter, a feeling for the time being.-ED.
