Romans Chapter 1 Vs. 11

Longing to Go to Rome


For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; Rom 1:11


that I may... Paul had the fullness of God (Rom. 15:29) and could impart spiritual gifts by the laying on of hands (1Tim. 4:14; 2Tim. 1:6; Heb. 6:2).

to the end... The purpose of all spiritual gifts (1Cor. 1:7; 12:4-11, 12:28-30; 14:1-40; Rom. 12:3-8; note, 1Tim. 4:14; 1Pet. 4:11).

be established... Greek: sterizo, strengthen (Luke 22:32; Rev. 3:2); establish (Rom. 1:11; 16:25; 1Thes.3:2, 3:13; 2Thes. 2:17; 3:3; Jas. 5:8; 1Pet. 5:10; 2Pet. 1:12); fix (Luke 16:26); and set (Luke 9:51).

Paul is speaking here of laying his hands on them that they might receive the power of the Holy Ghost. (1 Corinthians chapter 12), explains what these Spiritual gifts are. You should read the whole chapter, but I will quote a little here.

1 Corinthians 12:8-11 "For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;" "To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;" "To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:" "But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will."

The statement (that ye may be established), just means that power to minister will come upon them. Many very shy people, become bold workers for the Lord when they receive the Holy Spirit.
