Study Lenses

The verse centers on "will of God", "alwayes", "prayers", "beseeching", "some", "meanes", "time", and "other". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "will of God" and "alwayes", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 9's "For God is my witnesse whom I..." into verse 11's "For I long to see you that...", so "will of God" and "alwayes" belong inside that flow. In Romans context, the local focus is righteousness by faith, union with Christ, life in the Spirit, and God's covenant faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "will of God" and "alwayes" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
