Romans 1:11?

[earl40]

What are the spiritual gifts Paul would want to impart where he would have to be in person to impart?

"11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—"

 

[py3ak]

Look at the next verse:

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

What Paul anticipates from a visit is mutual comfort, rising from a mutual faith, that results in a greater firmness. At least one reason for desiring to be present is probably to allow interaction: his letter is necessarily somewhat general, whereas in live conversation it would be possible to particularize and adapt more closely, personally, and immediately.

Thank you Ruben. I also saw such but I was wondering if it could have been personal visit to impart the gift of healing, tongues, or prophesy.
