Establishing Rapport
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. Rom 1:15
I am ready... Greek: prothumos, ready, willing (Rom. 1:15; Mat. 26:41; Mar. 14:38).
Paul is saying here that he will do everything he can to come to Rome and preach. In the book of Acts, we find that Paul did make it to Rome and preached in his home while he was under house arrest. All true ministers of God are the happiest when they can bring the true Word of God and see someone saved.
Paul’s sense of debt to the Gentile world produced an eagerness (I am so eager, Rom. 1:15) to evangelize it, including Rome, capital of the empire.
