Romani 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.

Romani 1:12 In-Context

10 pregando del continuo nelle mie orazioni di poter venire a voi; se pure, per la volontà di Dio, in fine una volta mi sarà porta la comodità di fare il viaggio.

11 Perciocchè io desidero sommamente di vedervi, per comunicarvi alcun dono spirituale, acciocchè siate confermati.

12 E questo è, per esser congiuntamente consolato in voi, per la fede comune fra noi, vostra e mia.

13 Ora, fratelli, io non voglio che ignoriate che molte volte io ho proposto di venire a voi, acciocchè io abbia alcun frutto fra voi, come ancora fra le altre genti; ma sono stato impedito infino ad ora.

14 Io son debitore a’ Greci, ed ai Barbari; a’ savi, ed a’ pazzi.
