Romans 15:24

whensoever. go unto Spain (for. hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure. shall have been satisfied with your company)--

'whensoever. go unto Spain' -'Spain was at the very western end of Europe. It was in one sense the then limit of the civilized world, and the very fact that it was such would lure Paul on to preach there. He would characteristically wish to take the good news of God so far that he could not take it farther.' (Barclay p. 223)

'This man is tireless. He's. dreamer of dreams although is no "mere" dreamer. Dreamers for God are restless people. Always seeking out other ways, other places, other opportunities to minister for God.' (McGuiggan p. 432)

'and to be brought on my way thitherward by you' -'that is, supply his needs. Be hospitable toward him...He invites them into fellowship with him in his work. Paul had learned not only to give but to receive...the one sure way to make friends is to put yourself in debt to others. (1 Corinthians 16:6; 1 Corinthians 16:11)' (McGuiggan p. 432) (2 Corinthians 1:16; Titus 3:13; 2 John 1:6).

'in some measure' -'Paul adds that he does not expect to get enough of this delightful, satisfying contact, only "in part", "in some measure"...He would like to make his stay much longer, but his apostolic work of laying new foundations will drive him on to new regions.' (Lenski p. 890)

'satisfied with your company' -'Lit., filled full: satiated'. (Vincent p. 175) 'Get my fill of you' (Robertson p. 422) 'After. have had the satisfaction of seeing you all.' (Phi)

Point to Note:

We claim to be the Church of the First Century, we claim to be Christians, and yet do we have the desire to be with other Christians that these people had?
