What Does Romans 15:33 Mean?
Having poured out his plans and his pleas, Paul rests the whole matter in a blessing. He calls God 'the God of peace,' a fitting name after a letter so concerned with unity between differing believers.
The benediction is wide and warm: 'be with you all.' No one in the church is left outside this prayer for peace. After all the striving and traveling and asking, Paul's last word is one of calm assurance, entrusting his readers to the God who gives peace. The 'Amen' seals it like a settled promise. Whatever lies ahead for Paul or for them, the presence of the God of peace is the deepest blessing he can wish. It is the quiet rest in which the chapter, and all its labors, finally lie down.
