ACC ~ Romans 15 v32

DELIVERING GOD’S GIFTS. AMBROSIASTER: Because Paul’s mind is dedicated to delivering the gifts, he wants their mind to respond to him by the judgment of God so that, having understood his love for them, they might with one accord give thanks to God on his behalf. For he was a great blessing to them, in that by his ministry many were made happy and are now praising God. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

THAT I MAY BE REFRESHED IN YOUR COMPANY. CHRYSOSTOM: Note again Paul’s humility. He does not say that he wants to come in order to teach them but in order that he may be refreshed by them! HOMILIES ON ROMANS 30.

THAT I MAY COME TO YOU WITH JOY. PELAGIUS: Paul will come to Rome in joy if his offering is accepted at Jerusalem and will then speak the Word of God with peace of mind. … For heaviness of heart is a great hindrance to teaching. PELAGIUS’S COMMENTARY ON ROMANS.

THEODORET OF CYR: Paul has no desire to do the right thing apart from God’s will. INTERPRETATION OF THE LETTER TO THE ROMANS.
