Romans 1:10 - Exposition

Always (to be connected with δεόμενος following, not, as in the Authorized Version, with the preceding μνείαν ποιοῦμαι ) in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length (in some way at length some day) I may be prospered to come unto you . The word εὐοδωθησόμαι , translated in the Authorized Version, "have a prosperous journey," though rightly so rendered with regard to its etymology and original meaning, does not necessarily imply being prospered in a journey. It was commonly used to denote being prospered generally (cf. 1 Corinthians 16:2 ; 3 John 1:2 ).
