Romans 15:22-24 : Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you: but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you, whensoever I go unto Spain (for 1 hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure 1 shall have been satisfied with your company). Paul's purposes and plans were not always inspired. Over a period of many years he had a long-ing to visit the brethren in Rome, but had been hindered from doing so. (See also Romans 1:9-13). Every time he had planned to visit Rome other work pressed upon him; "but now, having no more any place in these regions," the regions about Corinth, or perhaps all of Greece, he turned his mind again toward Rome. But Paul would not have it appear that he would force himself on them; he would visit them on his way to Spain. And he hoped that they would assist him on his journey into Spain. Paul knew he had enemies, the Judaizers, in many churches; and it seems that he had some doubts as to whether his association with the Roman brethren would be fully satisfactory--cer-tainly not, if there were in that church any of the Judaizers.
