CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Romans 15

Paul tells the strong to bear the infirmities of the weak and please neighbors for their good, using Christ’s self-denial as the model. Scripture gives patience and hope, and Paul prays for unified worship among Jews and Gentiles. He strings together Old Testament texts showing Gentiles glorifying God with Israel. Paul then explains his priest-like gospel ministry among the Gentiles, his ambition to preach where Christ is not named, his plan to deliver aid to Jerusalem, and his hope to visit Rome on the way to Spain.
