Romans 1:12 - Exposition

That is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by each other's faith, yours and mine . The spirit of delicate courtesy here evinced, in addressing persons over whom one loss of a Christian gentleman than St. Paul was might have assumed a lordly tone, is apparent elsewhere in his Epistles (cf. Romans 15:15 ; Romans 16:19 ; 2 Corinthians 2:3 ; 2 Corinthians 3:1 , seq.; 2 Corinthians 8:8 ; 2 Corinthians 9:2 ), and especially the whole Epistle to Philemon.
