Romanos 1:12 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 1:12

That is, that I may be comforted together with you
This is a further explanation of his view, in being desirous of coming to them, and preaching: the Gospel among them; for what makes for establishment, makes for comfort; and what makes for comfort, makes for establishment; and when souls are established, ministers are comforted as well as they; and whilst ministers are imparting their spiritual gifts for the use of others, they themselves are sometimes comforted of God in their work, and particularly when they find there is an agreement between their doctrine, and the experience of the saints:

by the mutual faith both of you and me.
The grace of faith is the same in all the saints, and so is the doctrine of it, as dispensed by Christ's faithful ministers, and experimentally received and embraced by his people; the consideration of which has a very great influence on the comfort and establishment of each other; nor are any so perfect, but they may receive benefit from others, even though inferior to them.

Romanos 1:12 In-Context

10 pedindo sempre em minhas orações que, afinal, pela vontade de Deus, se me ofereça boa ocasião para ir ter convosco.

11 Porque desejo muito ver-vos, para vos comunicar algum dom espiritual, a fim de que sejais fortalecidos;

12 isto é, para que juntamente convosco eu seja consolado em vós pela fé mútua, vossa e minha.

13 E não quero que ignoreis, irmãos, que muitas vezes propus visitar-vos (mas até agora tenho sido impedido), para conseguir algum fruto entre vós, como também entre os demais gentios.

14 Eu sou devedor, tanto a gregos como a bárbaros, tanto a sábios como a ignorantes.
