Commentary on Romans 15:29

Theological / Devotional

I am sure. Gr. oida, “to know.”

The fullness of the blessing. That is, the full blessing.

Of the gospel. Textual evidence favors (see p. 10) the omission of this phrase. Without it the passage reads, “in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.” However, the “blessing” is the gospel. Paul’s intentions to visit Rome were finally realized, but not in the manner he had anticipated (Acts 28:16). Nevertheless, judging by the account in Philippians (Phil. 1:12–20), his ministry in Rome was indeed “in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.”
