Romans 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 1:15

So, as much as in me is, I am ready
This explains what he was a debtor to one and another for, namely,

to preach the Gospel;
expresses the readiness of his mind to that work, whatever difficulties lay in his way; and declares what a willing mind he had to preach it also to the Romans, as elsewhere:

to you that are at Rome also;
the metropolis of the Roman empire, a very public place, the seat of Satan, and where was the heat of persecution.

Romans 1:15 In-Context

13 Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that I planned many times to come to you, but this has not been possible. I wanted to come so that I could help you grow spiritually as I have helped the other non-Jewish people.

14 I have a duty to all people -- Greeks and those who are not Greeks, the wise and the foolish.

15 That is why I want so much to preach the Good News to you in Rome.

16 I am proud of the Good News, because it is the power God uses to save everyone who believes -- to save the Jews first, and also to save those who are not Jews.

17 The Good News shows how God makes people right with himself -- that it begins and ends with faith. As the Scripture says, "But those who are right with God will live by trusting in him."
