This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rom 15:29. Πληρώματι, in the fulness) comp. Rom 15:19. There is a real parallelism in the fulness of the Gospel, both intensive and extensive.[162]-εὐλογίας, of the blessing) which is conspicuous [such fulness of blessing as it is conspicuously seen to possess] both at Jerusalem and Rome.-τοῦ εὐαγγελίου) Some have omitted this word: The cause of the omission is easy to be perceived, viz. from the recurrence of τοῦ.[163]
[162] That is, the internal fulness, and the expansive capabilities of the Gospel externally, have a real correspondence.-ED.
[163] Either S. R. D. Foertschius in Progr. to this passage, or S. R. D. Ernesti in his review of the Program, affirms, that Bengel was satisfied with the omission of this word, see Bibl. th. T. V. p. 474, but this is a mistake. The margin of both editions (where the sign δ had marked an omission instead of a reading less certain) may be compared, s. pl., also the German Version which expresses the words des Evangelii without a parenthesis.-(E. B.)
The τοῦ alluded to by Beng. as recurring refers to Rec. Text τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τοῦ, which reading is supported by both Syr. Versions and Vulg. (later MSS.) But ABCD(Λ)G Cod. Amiat. (the oldest MS.) of Vulg. Memph. fg Versions omit the three words.-ED.
