Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
In the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ - The words του ευαγγελιου του, of the Gospel, are wanting in almost every MS. of importance. Griesbach has left them out of the text. There is no doubt they should be omitted. The fullness of the blessing of Christ is really more than the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ. He hoped to come to them not only with the blessing of the Gospel, but endued with the gifts and graces of the Lord Jesus himself; which he was now a constant instrument, in the hand of God, to dispense among those who were converted to the Christian faith.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
And I am sure--"I know" that . . . I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ--Such, beyond all doubts, is the true reading, the words "of the gospel" being in hardly any manuscripts of antiquity and authority. Nor was the apostle mistaken in this confidence, though his visit to Rome was in very different circumstances from what he expected. See Acts 28:16-31.
John Gill Bible Commentary
And I am sure when I come to you,.... He intended to go to Spain; he was not sure he should reach thither; but he was positive in it he should come to Rome. It had been much and long upon his mind; and under an impress of the Spirit of God upon him, he had signified some time before this, that after he had been at Jerusalem, he "must see, Rome also", Act 19:21, and it was afterwards more expressly told him by the Lord, that as he had testified of him at Jerusalem, he should bear witness at Rome also, Act 23:11, and therefore he was fully assured he should come to Rome, and was as confident of the manner of his coming thither. I shall come in, or "with" the fulness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ; with the Gospel, the good news of salvation by Christ; and which must make him a welcome person to every sensible soul wherever he came; to this he was chosen, separated, and called; for this he was abundantly qualified; this was committed to his trust, and which he carried with him wherever he went: and he was not ashamed of it, and was ready to preach it even at Rome also. With "the Gospel of Christ"; not his own, or another's, or any man's, but Christ's, which he had by the revelation of Christ; of which Christ is the sum and substance, and which Christ himself preached; "with the blessing of the Gospel of Christ". Some by "blessing" understand a liberal contribution, which he trusted he should make at Rome, for the poor saints at Jerusalem; believing that their hearts would be opened, under the preaching of the Gospel, to give freely to them, and that this would be a blessing that would attend it: but rather he means, either the blessed gifts he had, qualifying him for preaching the Gospel, with which he should come and deliver it among them, and which would attend it with success; such as boldness of spirit, freedom of speech, enlarged knowledge, mighty signs and wonders, and the demonstration of the Spirit, and of power: or the blessed effects it would have on them, in establishing them in the present truths; in further enlightening and instructing their minds; in edifying, quickening, and comforting them; and in nourishing up with the words of faith and sound doctrine, unto eternal life: or the blessings of grace exhibited and set forth in the Gospel; such as justification and forgiveness of sins, peace and reconciliation, salvation and eternal life. Nay, he believed he should come in, or with the "fulness" of all this; meaning, either that he believed he should find them full of the Gospel, and the fruits of it; or rather that he should come full fraught with it, and fully preach it to them, and keep back thing that would be profitable. There is a fulness in the Gospel; it is full of the deep things of God, which the Spirit searches and reveals, Co1 2:10; it is full of the doctrines of grace and truth, which Christ himself is said to be full of, Joh 1:14, it is full of exceeding great and precious promises transcribed from Christ, and out of the covenant of grace; and it is full of a variety of food, of milk for babes, Heb 5:13, and meat for strong persons, Heb 5:14. The Alexandrian copy, and some others, read only, "with the fulness of the blessing of Christ"; and so the Ethiopic version.
Romans 15:29
Paul’s Travel Plans
28So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you. 29I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

"Well Done"
By David Wilkerson0Pursuing God's BlessingsSpiritual MaturityACT 24:16ROM 15:29EPH 3:19EPH 4:7EPH 4:13David Wilkerson emphasizes the call to pursue the fullness of Christ's blessings as outlined by Paul in his letter to the Ephesians. He highlights that true fullness is not about material wealth but about having a clear conscience and an open relationship with God, allowing His blessings to flow freely in our lives. Wilkerson reflects on Paul's confidence in his walk with Christ, which stemmed from his commitment to live without hidden sin and to strive for spiritual maturity. The ultimate goal is to receive God's commendation, 'Well done,' as a testament to our faithfulness. This pursuit of fullness is a divine task that every believer is called to embrace.
Why Did Moses Veil His Face?
By Daniel Steele0EXO 34:33ROM 15:292CO 3:18GAL 1:16Daniel Steele preaches about the significance of veiling in the Bible, particularly focusing on Moses veiling his face after speaking with the Israelites to symbolize the transitoriness of the Old Testament dispensation. Steele contrasts the fading glory of the law with the eternal radiance of the gospel, emphasizing the permanency and increasing brightness of the believer's experience through the Holy Spirit. He highlights the privilege of believers in the New Testament era to reflect the glory of the Lord without the need for a veil, experiencing the indwelling Christ and the Spirit of truth.

By Bishop W. F. Mallalieu0PSA 8:3JHN 10:10JHN 11:25JHN 17:3ROM 15:291CO 15:511JN 3:21JN 5:13Bishop W. F. Mallalieu preaches about the Triune God's loving work to supply the world's needs, the wonder of God's creation, and the infinite grace and mercy of the Creator in the work of redemption. Through the plan of redemption, believers can experience a renewal in the image of God, be delivered from sin's power, and be adopted into the heavenly family for an eternity of blessedness.
