Romanos 15:22

22 Por lo cual aun he sido impedido muchas veces de venir á vosotros.

Romanos 15:22 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 15:22

For which cause also
By reason of being employed for so many years, in preaching the Gospel from Jerusalem, round about to Illyricum; taking so large a compass to minister in, and striving to introduce, propagate, and spread the Gospel, where Christ was never named before:

I have been much hindered from coming to you;
or he had been often, and by many ways, and upon many accounts, hindered from coming to them; the frequent calls to different and distant places, and the great work of preaching the Gospel in those dark parts of the world, and settling churches there, which was upon his hands, prevented his giving them a visit at Rome, which he much and often desired: as in the preceding verses the apostle excuses his freedom of writing to this church, so here his long delay of coming to them, assigning the reason of it.

Romanos 15:22 In-Context

20 Y de esta manera me esforcé á predicar el evangelio, no donde antes Cristo fuese nombrado, por no edificar sobre ajeno fundamento:

21 Sino, como esta escrito: A los que no fué anunciado de él, verán: Y los que no oyeron, entenderán.

22 Por lo cual aun he sido impedido muchas veces de venir á vosotros.

23 Mas ahora no teniendo más lugar en estas regiones, y deseando ir á vosotros muchos años há,

24 Cuando partiere para España, iré á vosotros; porque espero que pasando os veré, y que seré llevado de vosotros allá, si empero antes hubiere gozado de vosotros.
