SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:13

Pero no quiero, hermanos, que ignoris que muchas veces me he propuesto ir a vosotros (pero hasta ahora he sido estorbado), para tener tambin entre vosotros algn fruto, como entre los otros gentiles.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 1:13

Verse 13. But was let hitherto] The word let, from the Anglo- Saxon, (Anglo-Saxon) to
hinder, signifies impediment or hinderance of any kind: but it is likely that the original word, ekwluqhn, I was forbidden, refers to a Divine prohibition:-he would have visited them long before, but God did not see right to permit him.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. Now I would not have you ignorant,
brethren , etc..] The apostle calls them brethren, because many of them were Jews, his brethren and kinsmen according to the flesh, and all of them were his brethren in a spiritual relation; and this he does to express his affection to them, and engage their attention and credit to him, and particularly to this matter which he now acquaints them with, being unwilling they should be ignorant of it; that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you : it was not a sudden start of mind, or a desire that lately arose up in him, but a settled resolution and determination, and which he had often made: but was let hitherto ; either by God, who had work for him to do in other places; or by Satan, who sometimes by divine permission has had such power and influence; (see 1 Thessalonians 2:18), or through the urgent necessities of other churches, which required his stay with them longer than he intended: his end in taking up at several times such a resolution of coming to them was, says he, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles : by fruit he means, not any reward of his labour, either temporal or eternal; but the conversion of sinners, the edification of saints, and the fruitfulness of believers in grace and works. The apostle seems to allude to the casting of seed into the earth: Christ's ministers' are husbandmen, who sow the seed of the word, which lies some time under the clods; wherefore patience is necessary to wait its springing up, first in the blade, and then in the ear, then in the full corn in the ear, when it brings forth fruit; all which depend on the blessing of God: and when he adds, as among other Gentiles, his design is not so much to let them know that they were as other Gentiles, upon a level with them, had no pre-eminence as citizens of Rome, over other saints, being all one in Christ Jesus; as to observe to them his success in other places, where he had been preaching the Gospel of the grace of God.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 8-15 - We must show
love for our friends, not only by praying for them, but by praising God for them. As in our purposes, so in our desires, we mus remember to say, If the Lord will, Jas 4:15. Our journeys are mad prosperous or otherwise, according to the will of God. We shoul readily impart to others what God has trusted to us, rejoicing to make others joyful, especially taking pleasure in communing with those wh believe the same things with us. If redeemed by the blood, an converted by the grace of the Lord Jesus, we are altogether his; and for his sake we are debtors to all men, to do all the good we can. Suc services are our duty.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

13. I would not have you ignorant. An emphatic expression calling special attention to what follows. Compare
1 Cor. x. 1; 1 Thessalonians iv. 13.

Have some fruit (tina karpon scw). the phrase, compare ch. vi. 22. A metaphorical statement of what is stated literally in ver. 11. Not equivalent to bear fruit, but to gather as a harvest. Compare John iv. 36; Philip. i. 22; Col. i. 6. Fruit is a favorite metaphor with Paul. He uses it in both a good and a bad sense. See Rom. vii. 4, 5; vi. 22; Gal. v. 22.


Robertson's NT Word Studies

1:13 {Oftentimes I purposed} (pollakis proethemn). Second aorist middle of protiqemi, old verb to place, to propose to oneself, in N.T. only here, #3:25; Eph 1:9. See #Ac 19:21 for this purpose. {And was hindered} (kai ekwluqen). "But was hindered," adversative use of kai. {That I might have some fruit} (hina tina karpon scw). Second aorist (ingressive), active of ecw, to have, and here means "might get (ingressive aorist) some fruit."
