Exegesis
The conditional clause ean humōn prōton apo merous emplesthō {ἐὰν ὑμῶν πρῶτον ἀπὸ μέρους ἐμπλησθῶ | e-àn hū-môn prô-ton a-pò mé-rous em-plē-sthô} ‘if I may first be in part filled by you’ employs ean plus aorist subjunctive to set a prior condition for his sending. The genitive apo merous conveys a partitive nuance of fellowship. In translation, participial and infinitival constructions become finite clauses and purpose phrases to preserve clarity, contingency, and mutual encouragement in Paul’s travel plan.
In context — Romans 15:24
When I travel to Spain, I hope to see you while passing through and to be sent on my way there by you, if first I might be partly filled with your company .
