Romans 15:19

τεράτων gen. pl. от τέρας (G5059) чудо.
κύκλω (G2945) в кругу, вокруг. Считалось, что мир имеет форму совершенного круга, и Павел описывает территории, уже охваченные благой вестью: Палестину, Сирию, Малую Азию и Грецию, — как лежащие внутри окружности; то есть в кругу народов Средиземноморья (John Knox, "Romans 15:14-33 and Paul's Conception of His Apostolic Mission" JBL 83 [1964]: 11).
πεπληρωκέναι perf. inf. act. от πληρόω (G4137) наполнять, выполнять. Заполнять остальное пространство, проповедуя благую весть тем, до кого она еще не дошла (Кпох, 10).
