Romans 15:33

Verse 33. Now the God of peace. God, the author or promoter of peace and union. In Ro 15:13 he is called the God of hope. Here the apostle desires that the God who gives peace would impart to them union of sentiment and feeling, particularly between the Jewish and Gentile Christians--the great object for which he laboured in his journey to Judea, and which he had been endeavouring to promote throughout this epistle. See 1 Co 14:33; Heb 13:20. This is the close of the doctrinal and hortatory parts of this epistle. The remainder is made up chiefly of salutations. In the verses concluding this chapter, Paul expressed his earnest desire to visit Rome.
