13 I would not, brethren, have you ignorant that I often planned to come to you (but thus far have been prevented) to also have some fruit among you, as well as among other Gentiles.14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and the ignorant.15 And so, as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome.16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

INTRODUCTIONIn this quarter we have the privilege of studying the Epistle of Paul to the Romans. We can say that we will never be the same after careful reading and a systematic study of this Epistle. Romans shows that the Gospel is the power of God for the salvation of Jews and Gentiles. It also reveals that man, lost in the darkness of sin, is reconciled to God by his grace. This grace is what justifies and qualifies us to have fellowship with Him.

There is a consensus among theologians and biblical scholars that the Epistle to the Romans is Paul's authorship (Rom 1.1). The argument that denies the originality of this record has no credibility among New Testament scholars. Paul wrote this letter with the help of Tertius, his amanuensis, scribe (Rom 16:22).

The custom of the time allowed the clerk had some latitude in drafting the document, acting as a kind of shorthand. Based on this fact, some critics have argued about the authenticity of certain passages from the Letter to the Romans, by assigning them to a non-Pauline authorship. However the Romans content leaves no doubt that all its contents reflects the style of Paul write.

Paul is the author of the Epistle to the Romans. He wrote this letter between the years 56 and 57 A.D., and be addressed to the church in Rome.

LEARN MOREDate and authorship of the Letter to the Romans"The early church and even today's critics agree with the opening verses of the letter. This is the letter of the apostle Paul to the Romans. Many commentators believe that Paul wrote in A.D. 56 and 57, while in Corinth. Phoebe, from the vicinity of Cenchrea, took the letter (Rom 16.1,2); and Caio (16:23), was the most prominent convert of Paul in Corinth (1 Cor 1:14). Thus, Paul's letter arrived in Rome several years before he came to the city as a prisoner, to be judged by Caesar's court (Acts 28). '' To learn more read the Cuia Bible Reader, CPAD, p. 735.

The Epistle of Paul to the Romans follows the model of other documents of the first century of the Christian era. The outline follows the order of this type of document, always with a greeting and a prayer (Rom 1.1,7,8,16). A common literary form in Paul's day was written in dialogue form. Plato, Greek philosopher, for example, wrote dozens of them. However, as well noted expert in New Testament Brodus D. Hale, this literary form hardly fits the Pauline model.

Paul shows the spiritual need that the Gentiles, Jews and all mankind have of God's salvation. Paul also shows in Chapters 5-8 (5.1- 8:39), the sanctifying action of the Holy Ghost in the process of salvation.

In chapters 9-11 we find Paul's theology regarding the treatment of God for Israel, his people. Disclosed are three aspects of God's dealing with Israel, past, present and future. In the last section of Paul shows the practical side of the Gospel in transforming lives (12 to 15:13).

However, we can also highlight the following purposes: the apostle want to make the Roman church a missionary base so that he could get to Spain (Rom 15.24,28); It is also clear that the apostle is imbued with the defense of the gospel he preached. Thus, the accusations that Paul promoted an anti-Judaism not proceed because the card also has an apologetic and pastoral purpose, as can be seen in Chapters 14:15.

The Epistle to the Romans is considered the most theological of all others written by Paul. The strong doctrinal content of this letter is undoubtedly the most complete of the New Testament. Roman comes to some of the deeper issues of Christianity - the doctrines of so-called election, predestination, justification, glorification and eternal inheritance.

Paulo mostra à igreja que o pecador pode encontrar a redenção na poderosa mensagem do Evangelho que é o poder de Deus para salvação de todo aquele que crê. A Carta aos Romanos revela que é por intermédio da graça de Deus, manifestada na pessoa bendita de Jesus Cristo, que o homem pode ver corrigido o seu relacionamento com o Criador. A velha natureza é subjugada na cruz e o Espirito Santo faz com que o poder da cruz agora emane na vida do crente.
