Origen of Alexandria

COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS (253)

Paul was not hindered by Satan, as some think, but by the fact that he was too busy planting churches in places where nobody had ever preached the gospel before.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

For which cause, etc. - My considering it a point of honor to build on no other man’s foundation; and, finding that the Gospel has been long ago planted at Rome, I have been prevented from going thither, purposing rather to spend my time and strength in preaching where Christ has not, as yet, been proclaimed.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1802–1910

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

(See on Ro 1:9-11.) 23, 24. But now having no more place--"no longer having place"--that is, unbroken ground, where Christ has not been preached. and having a great desire--"a longing" these many years to come unto you--(as before, see on Ro 1:9-11).

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1802–1910

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

For I will not dare to speak of any--"to speak aught" of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me--a modest, though somewhat obscure form of expression, meaning, "I will not dare to go beyond what Christ hath wrought by me"--in which form accordingly the rest of the passage is expressed.
