Albert Barnes Commentary Romans 15:22

"Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you:" — Romans 15:22 (ASV)

For which cause. I have been so entirely occupied in this leading purpose of my life that I have not been able to come to you.

Much hindered. Many ways; not many times. I had such frequent and urgent demands on my time elsewhere that I could not come to you.

From coming to you. Where the gospel has been preached. I have desired to come but have been unable to leave the vast region where I might preach the gospel to those who had never heard it.
