Rom 15:32

“"That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God." As he had said at the beginning, "If by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you" (Rom. i. 10); so here again he takes refuge in the same Will, and says that this is why I press on and wish to be delivered from them, that I may see you shortly, and that with pleasure, without bringing any load of heaviness from thence. "And may with you be refreshed." See how he again shows unassumingness. For he does not say, I may teach you, and give you a lesson, but that, "I may with you be refreshed." And yet he was the very man engaged in the striving and conflict. In what sense then does he say "that I may be refreshed with you (sunanapauswmai)?" It is to gratify them on this point too, and to make them the more cheerful by making them sharers of his crown, and to show that they too struggle and labor. Then, as was always his custom to do, he adds prayer after the exhortation...”

“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.”

“Paul has no desire to do the right thing apart from God's will.”

“I, he says, therefore pray for deliverance from there, so that I may see you sooner and moreover with pleasure, not having brought upon myself any grief there. He did not say: to teach you, to instruct you in the faith, but "to be comforted," that is, you will be enlivened by my teaching, and I will be enlivened by the growth of your faith. By this expression he shows that both he and they, as those who struggle and labor, have need of rest.”

“The third pertains to those to whom he was writing: hence he adds: so that I may come to you with joy, and this by God's will, against which he wanted to do nothing: making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you (Rom 1:10), and may be refreshed with you, i.e., that from your presence I may receive refreshment from my tribulations.”

“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.”
