Plan to Visit Rome

22 For this reason aI also have been much hindered from coming to you.  
23 But now no longer having a place in these parts, and ahaving a great desire these many years to come to you,  
24 whenever I journey to Spain,1 I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, aand to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may benjoy your company for a while.  
25 But now aI am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.  
26 For ait pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem.  
27 It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For aif the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, btheir duty is also to minister to them in material things.  
28 Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them athis fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain.  
29 aBut I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing1 of the gospel of Christ.  
30 Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and athrough the love of the Spirit, bthat you strive together with me in prayers to God for me,

Romans 15:24

Whensoever I go (wv an poreuwmai). Indefinite temporal clause with wv an and the present middle subjunctive (cf. I Corinthians 11:34; Philippians 2:23 with aorist subjunctive).

Into Spain (eiv thn Spanian). It was a Roman province with many Jews in it. The Greek name was Iberia, the Latin Hispania. The Textus Receptus adds here eleusomai prov umav (I shall come to you), but it is not in Aleph A B C D and is not genuine. Without it we have a parenthesis (or anacoluthon) through the rest of verse Romans 15:24.

In my journey (diaporeuomenov). Present middle participle, "passing through." Paul planned only a brief stay in Rome since a strong church already existed there.

To be brought on my way thitherward (propemfqhnai ekei). "To be sent forward there." First aorist passive infinitive of propempw, common word for escorting one on a journey (I Corinthians 16:6, I Corinthians 16:11; II Corinthians 1:16; Titus 3:13; II John 1:6).

If first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company (ean umwn protwn apo merouv emplhsqw). Condition of third class with ean and first aorist passive subjunctive of empimplhmi, old verb, to fill up, to satisfy, to take one's fill. See Luke 6:25. Literally, "if I first in part be filled with you" (get my fill of you). delicate compliment for the Roman church.
