What does Romans 15:30 mean?

Romans 15 concludes with Paul's request that the Christians in Rome pray with him about three specific things. He has told them his plans. His intent is to deliver financial aid to the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem and, once that task is completed, to travel to Rome to visit the Christians there (Romans 15:23–25).

Paul uses strong words in asking his readers to pray for him. He appeals to them by Christ Himself and by the love they have because of the Holy Spirit. This is not a casual request. What he asks is also weighty. Paul wants these believers to strive or wrestle with him in prayer to God on his behalf.

Paul often closes his letters by asking for prayer (Ephesians 6:18–20; 1 Thessalonians 5:25; Philemon 1:22). This request is different from most of those other appeals, as the following verses reveal. Paul is deeply concerned about three specific things.
