Paul has longed to travel to Rome and visit the Christians there for many years. Now he plans to do so as part of an itinerary that will take him on to Spain to preach the gospel to unreached people in that part of the world. Spain, at that time, was part of the Roman empire.
Paul has mentioned several reasons for coming to Rome both at the beginning of his letter (Romans 1:10–15) and in this chapter (Romans 15:23). Now he adds two other reasons: He genuinely wants to enjoy their company for a while. This phrase suggests that Paul sees the visit, in part, as a time of refreshment for him, a break from his larger mission. However, he also hopes to be helped by them for his journey to Spain. Likely, this means Paul is hoping they will be able to help fund his missionary efforts in this new region.
