Rom 15:28. Ἐπιτελέσας καὶ σφραγισάμενος) Words nearly related to each other, 2Ki 22:4, וְיַתֵּס אֶת־הַכֶּסֶף, LXX., καὶ σφράγισον τὸ ἀργύριον, and seal the silver. Paul finished this first; nothing interrupted him, how eager soever he might be as to other objects, Act 19:21. σφραγισάμενος, as soon as I shall have sealed, not only that they might perceive the good faith of him, who delivered it, but that they might also be confirmed in spiritual communion. ἀπελεύσομαι, I will go away) even though I may never be about to return from Spain. This is the force of the compound verb.-Σπανίαν, Spain) Paul does not seem to have reached Spain. A holy purpose often exists in the minds of godly men, which, although it is not fulfilled, is nevertheless precious [in God’s eyes], 2Sa 7:2; 2Sa 7:4.
