Commentary on Romans 1:15

Theological / Devotional

As much as. The Greek idiom is difficult. Many interpreters understand the first part of this verse to mean “so far as I am concerned, and so far as I may have opportunity, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also.” The RSV translates the first part of the sentence simply, “I am eager.” Others suggest, “It is my wish.”

At Rome. Paul had already preached in the great cities of Ephesus, Athens, and Corinth. Now he is eager to proclaim the gospel in the capital city of the world.
