Greek Commentary for Romans 15:24
Indefinite temporal clause with ως αν hōs an and the present middle subjunctive (cf. 1 Corinthians 11:34; Philemon 2:23 with aorist subjunctive). [source]
It was a Roman province with many Jews in it. The Greek name was Ιβερια Iberia the Latin Hispania. The Textus Receptus adds here ελευσομαι προς υμας eleusomai pros humas (I shall come to you), but it is not in Aleph A B C D and is not genuine. Without it we have a parenthesis (or anacoluthon) through the rest of Romans 15:24. In my journey (διαπορευομενος diaporeuomenos). Present middle participle, “passing through.” Paul planned only a brief stay in Rome since a strong church already existed there. To be brought on my way thitherward “To be sent forward there.” First aorist passive infinitive of προπεμπω propempō common word for escorting one on a journey (1 Corinthians 16:6, 1 Corinthians 16:11; 2 Corinthians 1:16; Titus 3:13; 2 John 1:6). If first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company (εαν υμων προτων απο μερους εμπληστω ean humōn protōn apo merous emplēsthō). Condition of third class with εαν ean and first aorist passive subjunctive of εμπιμπλημι empimplēmi old verb, to fill up, to satisfy, to take one‘s fill. See Luke 6:25. Literally, “if I first in part be filled with you” (get my fill of you). delicate compliment for the Roman church. [source]
