Intro
Series - Romans Studies On The Book Of Romans
This Part - Romans 15-16
Review
Background
Paul’s closing remarks
His works from Jerusalem to Illyricum (the western most limit of his ministry)
his upcoming journey to Jerusalem
His plan to visit Rome on his way to Spain
his commendation of his benefactor
his greeting to certain saints in Rome
his warning against divisive persons
his benediction
Paul reviews the purpose of his epistle
To do his work as a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles
he was called to be an apostle to the Gentiles
In doing so, the “offering” of the Gentiles might be acceptable
offering - service, as a sacrifice to God
Paul’s concern was -
for the Gentiles to be gathered to God
for the Gentiles to demonstrate a life of faith that pleases God
Paul also shares some of the principles that he applied in his ministry -
he only speaks of what Christ has accomplished through him
for the obedience of the gentiles
he focused on preaching the gospel to places where no one has gone to before
so that he will not build on another man’s foundation
Note -
This is true apostolic work - Paul preached to virgin fields
this eliminates duplication of work, and maximizes time and effort
this also helps eliminates conflicts of interest with other apostles
this also emphasized his apostolic work to the Gentiles
Paul’s plan to go to visit Rome
he saw his work as finished in the regions he mentioned
from Illyricum to Jerusalem - SEE MAP
he has desired to visit Rome for many years
Paul mentions his upcoming visit to Jerusalem
the saints in Macedonia and Achaia wanted to send gifts through Paul
they felt they have an obligation to serve through material things
when he was imprisoned later, the Lord spoke to him of his trip to Rome
Paul expresses his concern with the Judean Jews
Paul greets the Saints in Rome
He commends sis Phoebe from Cenchrea
she was a “helper” - grk.
PROSTATIS, a female benefactor
she was the first and perhaps only woman identified as a deacon in a church
He greets the saints by name
Priscilla and Aquila
the couple were Paul’s converts in Corinth on his 3rd missionary journey
they were Roman Jews who came to Corinth when Claudius expelled the Jews from Rome
they established a house church in Corinth - 1 Cor 16.19 “19 The churches of Asia greet you.
Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.”
later they returned to Rome before Paul wrote this epistle
Andronicus and Junia
Junia is probably a sister
They were not apostles, but were known to the apostles
Paul warns against divisive persons
note - grk SKOPEO, to watch carefully; be vigilant
divisions - dissentions,
people who cause divisions serve only their “belly” self-interest
be wise in in what is good; be innocent in evil
Paul’s Benediction
Gaius - one of Paul’s converts in Corint - 1 Cor 1.14 “14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,”
When Paul first came to Corinth, he stayed in the house of Justus, where Crispus was baptized
it is believed that this Justus, or Titius Justus is the person as Gaius; his full name being Gaius Titius Justus.
