Bible Text
Romans 1:1–4 (NKJV)
1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God
2 which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,
4 and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.
In Romans 16, Paul reveals his deep affection for those whom he had served, for those who had served him, and for those who served with him.
In Romans 15:22–32, Paul demonstrates six characteristics of his own ministry that should be evidenced in the life and ministry of every believer who is committed to doing God’s will.
In Romans 15:14-21 Paul gives a defense of his ministry, especially of his boldness in writing this letter to a church he did not found and had never visited. Except for a few individuals he had met elsewhere, he did not know the Christians in Rome. Yet he addresses them both warmly and forthrightly, as if they were close friends.
