Romans 15:23

Having no more any place in these regions (mhketi topon exwn en toiv klimasin). Surprising frankness that the average preacher would hardly use on such a matter. Paul is now free to come to Rome because there is no demand for him where he is. For klima (from klinw, to incline), slope, then tract of land, region, see already II Corinthians 11:10; Galatians 1:21 (the only N.T. examples).

A longing (epipoqeian). A hapax legomenon, elsewhere epipoqhsiv (II Corinthians 7:7, II Corinthians 7:11), from epipoqew as in Romans 1:11.

These many years (apo ikanwn etwn). "From considerable years." So B C, but Aleph A D have pollwn, "from many years."
