Exegesis
The second participial clause, epipothian de echon tou elthein pros hymas apo hikanon eton {ἐπιποθίαν δὲ ἔχων τοῦ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ ἱκανῶν ἐτῶν | e-pi-po-thí-an dè é-chōn toû el-theîn pròs hy-mâs a-pò hi-ka-nôn e-tôn}, presents Paul’s sustained desire through an articular infinitive (tou elthein) specifying the content of his longing. The coordinating participles echon frame both the loss of ministry scope and the enduring yearning, building syntactic cohesion. The prepositional phrase apo hikanon eton conveys duration from the past to the present. The English renderings preserve the participial linkage with parallel structures (“having” … “having”), reflecting ongoing states rather than discrete events.
In context — Romans 15:23
