Romans 15:32

“That I may come unto you with joy, etc..] The end the apostle had, in desiring them to request the above things at the throne of grace for him, was, that he might come to them, which unless he was delivered from the unbelieving Jews, could not be; and therefore since they had an interest in this matter, he might hope they would be the more importunate in their supplications for him, the he might escape their hands; and seeing also, should the saints there use him in an ungrateful manner, and slight the kindness of the Gentile churches, and his service should not have the desired effect, his coming to them would be with sorrow: wherefore he puts them upon praying for success in this affair,…”

“That I may come unto you with--"in" joy by the will of God-- (Act 18:21; Co1 4:19; Co1 16:7; Heb 6:3; Jam 4:15) and may with you be refreshed--rather, "with you refresh myself," after all his labors and anxieties, and so be refitted for future service.”

“That I may come to you - That I I may not be impeded in my intended journey by opposition in Judea. With joy - Joy to myself in being permitted to come; and producing joy to you by my presence. By the will of God - If God will; if God permit. After all his desires, and all their prayers, it still depended on the will of God; and to that the apostle was desirous to submit. This should be the end of our most ardent desires, and this the object of all our prayers, that the will of God should be done; compare James 4:14-15. Paul “did” go by the will of God; but he went in bonds. And be refreshed - Greek, May find “rest” or “solace” with you. return to 'Top of Page'”
