A.T. Robertson Commentary Romans 1:12

"that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other`s faith, both yours and mine." — Romans 1:12 (ASV)

That I with you may be comforted (συνπαρακληθηνα εν υμιν). "My being comforted in you (εν υμιν) together (συν-) with you," a mutual blessing to each party (you and me).
