Romans 15:29

And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ : [Paul had no doubt about the favorable conditions in the Roman church, nor about his kindly reception by the Christians at Rome. He felt that they would so receive him that he would be able to greatly enrich them in instruction and in all other spiritual blessings. "Beyond these blessings," says Lard, "he had nothing to bestow, nor they anything to ask." Far other were his presentiments as to Jerusalem, as he immediately shows us. For a like expectation of an evil reception, see 2 Corinthians 1:23; 2 Corinthians 12:14; 2 Corinthians 12:20-21; 2 Corinthians 13:1-2]
