John Chrysostom

"That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God." As he had said at the beginning, "If by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you" (Rom. i. 10); so here again he takes refuge in the same Will, and says that this is why I press on and wish to be delivered from them, that I may see you shortly, and that with pleasure, without bringing any load of heaviness from thence. "And may with you be refreshed." See how he again shows unassumingness. …

Homily on Romans 30 ↗

Theophylact of Ohrid

I, he says, therefore pray for deliverance from there, so that I may see you sooner and moreover with pleasure, not having brought upon myself any grief there. He did not say: to teach you, to instruct you in the faith, but "to be comforted," that is, you will be enlivened by my teaching, and I will be enlivened by the growth of your faith. By this expression he shows that both he and they, as those who struggle and labor, have need of rest.

Thomas Aquinas

The third pertains to those to whom he was writing: hence he adds: so that I may come to you with joy, and this by God's will, against which he wanted to do nothing: making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you (Rom 1:10), and may be refreshed with you, i.e., that from your presence I may receive refreshment from my tribulations.
