For I long to see you Paul expresses a deep desire to visit the believers in Rome. This longing reflects his pastoral heart and commitment to the spread of the Gospel. Historically, Rome was the center of the Roman Empire, a strategic location for the dissemination of Christian teachings. Paul's desire to visit is not merely personal but is driven by his mission to strengthen the church and expand its influence. This longing also highlights the importance of fellowship and personal connection within the early Christian communities, as seen in other epistles where Paul emphasizes the value of being physically present with fellow believers (e.g., 1 Thessalonians 2:17-18). so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Desire for FellowshipPaul’s longing to see the Roman believers highlights the importance of Christian fellowship and community. Purpose of Spiritual Gifts Spiritual gifts are given not for personal gain but for the strengthening and edification of the church. Active Participation Believers are encouraged to actively use their spiritual gifts to serve others and build up the body of Christ. Mutual Encouragement The impartation of spiritual gifts is a two-way street, where both the giver and receiver are encouraged and strengthened. Intentional Ministry Like Paul, believers should be intentional in their ministry efforts, seeking opportunities to bless and strengthen others.(11) That I may impart unto you some spiritual gift.--Such gifts as would naturally flow to one Christian (or to many collectively) from the personal presence and warm sympathy of another; in St. Paul's case, heightened in proportion to the wealth and elevation of his own spiritual consciousness and life. His head and his heart alike are full to overflowing, and he longs to disburthen himself and impart some of these riches to the Romans. Inasmuch as he regards all his own religious advancement and experience as the result of the Spirit working within him, he calls the fruits of that advancement and experience "spiritual gifts." All the apostolic gifts--miraculous as well as non-miraculous--would be included in this expression. Indeed, we may believe that the Apostle would hardly draw the distinction that we do between the two kinds. Both alike were in his eyes the direct gift of the Spirit. To the end ye may be established.--That they may grow and be confirmed and strengthened in the faith. As a rule the great outpouring of spiritual gifts was at the first foundation of a church. St. Paul was not the founder of the church at Rome, but he hoped to be able to contribute to its advance and consolidation. Verse 11. - For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established. Bengel, taking χάρισμα as the special gift of the Holy Ghost consequent on apostolic laying on of hands (cf. Acts 8:17, 18), argues from this verse that neither St. Peter nor any other apostle could have been at Rome so far. Though his conclusion is probably true, it does not follow from his premiss; for τὶ χάρισμα πνευματικὸν evidently means generally any gift of grace. All St. Paul implies is that he hopes to do them some spiritual good, so as to settle and strengthen them; and in the next verse, with characteristic delicacy, he even modifies what he has said, so as to guard against being supposed to imply that the benefit would be all on their side.Parallel Commentaries ...
