Commentary on Romans 15:14

Theological / Devotional

And I myself. The argument of the epistle is now completed. Paul concludes with an explanation of his manner of writing to Rome (vs. 15-22), a statement concerning his future plans (vs. 23-33), and the usual personal greeting (ch. 16). Chapter 15:14-33 corresponds to the introduction in ch. 1:8-15.

Persuaded of you. That is, convinced about you.

Goodness. Compare Gal. 5:22; Eph. 5:9.

All knowledge. Here particularly the knowledge of spiritual truth, such as that possessed by those strong in faith (see 1 Cor. 8:1, 7, 10, 11). Paul had earlier warned the Corinthians that “knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth” (1 Cor. 8:1). Fortunately the Roman Christians had the desirable combination of “goodness” and “knowledge.”

Able also to admonish. Or, “qualified also to exhort,” “competent also to counsel.”
