<p>15:29 <i>And I know that, when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ</i>- The language is very similar to that of 1:11 &quot;For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to strengthen you&quot;. Paul seemed to think that his personal presence in Rome would result in their receiving some spiritual gift. Indeed he speaks of a fullness of blessing, as if he had something spectacular in mind. But there is no record of his doing anything of the sort when he finally arrived in Rome. So I am inclined to read this as I do his certain talk about going to Spain etc. He appears to have been &quot;sure&quot; (AV) of things which were not at all confirmed by the Lord- in his obsessive enthusiasm for 'Rome'. </p>
