A. Where is the scripture written?

1.

Also quite certain is that Paul’s time in Greece was spent either at Corinth or its port city of Cenchrea.

In a letter to the church at Corinth written toward the end of his stay in Ephesus (and less than a year before; cf. 1 Cor 16:8), Paul wrote: “After I go through Macedonia, I will come to you.…

Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter” (1 Cor 16:5–6).

Also supporting Corinth as the place of origin for Paul’s letter to the church in Rome are several indications in the greetings of chap.

16.

In v. 23 Paul passed along the greetings of Gaius, his host.

This could well have been the Gaius Paul baptized in Corinth (1 Cor 1:14).

Erastus, whom Paul called the “city’s director of public works” (Rom 16:23), probably is the same Erastus mentioned in a Corinthian inscription as “procurator of public buildings.”

The identity is strengthened by Paul’s statement in 2 Timothy that “Erastus stayed in Corinth” (2 Tim 4:20).

And Phoebe, whom Paul commended to the church at Rome, is called “a servant of the church in Cenchrea” (Rom 16:1).

These considerations have led the vast majority of scholars to accept Corinth as the city from which Paul wrote to the believers in Rome.

2. People

a.D. G. Miller finds three general groups in the church at Rome: the legalists, who thought that righteousness was a human achievement; the libertines, who abandoned the law even as a guide for the response of faith; and the spiritualists, whose pride destroyed the true sense of community and made them indifferent to the demands of civic order.

From the greetings in 16:3–16 we may garner some interesting details about the membership in the church at Rome.

For example, some had been Christians longer than Paul (v. 7), others had houses large enough to serve as meeting places (v.

5), and although many undoubtedly were slaves, some probably came from the higher echelons of society.

One example would be Pomponia Graecina, the wife of the Roman general who commanded the British expedition in A.D. 43, who was tried and acquitted on the charge of having embraced a “foreign superstition,” most likely Christianity.

b.Another suggestion is that Rome was evangelized by the missionary outreach of Antioch, but there is no evidence of this.

A more reasonable suggestion is that the church at Rome was founded by believers, both Jewish and Gentile, who for a variety of reasons traveled back and forth to the capital city or who had taken up residence there
