ACC ~ Romans 15 v29

I SHALL COME IN THE FULLNESS OF THE BLESSING OF CHRIST. ORIGEN: What does Paul mean by this? I think he is talking here about the image of God, by which he means that there will be no admixture of any alien thought in the fulfilling of his task and no praise sought from men. He simply will offer all he has done to God in the simplicity of his heart. COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS.

AMBROSIASTER: “The fullness of the blessing” refers to the miracles through which the blessing is confirmed. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

CHRYSOSTOM: Paul is speaking here either about alms or about good deeds. For blessing is a name he very commonly gives to alms. HOMILIES ON ROMANS 30.

[PSEUDO-]CONSTANTIUS: The apostle would be taken to Rome in chains because of his preaching of Christ. He predicts that he will come in the fullness of blessing, as he was certainly aware that he did not have any less grace than the other apostles. THE HOLY LETTER OF ST. PAUL TO THE ROMANS.

PELAGIUS: If the Romans behave well, Paul will be full of good teaching for them, for the teacher is incited to teach to the extent that the student shows progress. PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.
