The apostle Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome. He probably did this while he was in Corinth on his third missionary journey, in a.d. 57 (Acts 20:2-3).
In the cross of Christ, God judges sin and at the same time shows his saving mercy.
Paul wrote Romans to unite the Jewish and Gentile Christians in Rome in the gospel. He also wanted the church in Rome to become the base of operations from which he could proclaim the gospel in Spain (15:22-24). The ultimate goal of preaching the gospel is the glory of God (11:33-36). Paul longs for the Gentiles to become obedient Christians for the sake of Christ's name (1:5).
Paul probably wrote Romans from Corinth during his third missionary journey (Acts 20:2–3). Rome was the epicenter of the powerful Roman Empire, ruling over many of the great ancient centers of Western civilization. Paul had established the church at Corinth during his second missionary journey (Acts 18:1–11).
