The Epistle of Paul to the Romans, usually referred to simply as Romans, is the sixth book in the New Testament. Biblical scholars agree that it was written by the Apostle Paul to explain that Salvation is offered through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is by far the longest of the Pauline epistles, and is considered his “most important theological legacy”. (Introduction by Wikipedia)     [chương_files]

This is the Apostle Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth, Greece, a seaport filled with a diversity of not only people but religions. This letter gives advice, teaching, and stern warnings to his fellow Christians, especially warnings against sexual immorality. Paul also discusses division within the assembly and addresses some difficult issues surrounding such things as marriage. (Introduction by Mark Penfold)     [chương_files]  

In his letter to the believers in the city of Philippi (in the province of ancient Macedonia), the Apostle Paul exudes an attitude of JOY, in spite of his own imprisonment and impending trial. He preaches of unity as a matter of contention and conflict arises in the fellowship, encouraging them to settle the matter and come together as the Body of Christ. He sees attempts on the part of those who would have the believers sink back into the Law of Moses, and reassures the believers in Christ that He, not the Law, is sufficient for eternal life. He seems to say, “Be JOYOUS, UNITED, and SATISFIED with and in Christ, my children!!!” – Summary by Mark Penfold     [chương_files]

“Get along with each other, and be a loving, faithful community! Be pure in your life and conduct your relationships with others in a holy, not profane manner! Respect your diverse spiritual gifts, and know that you are a strong Body, connected by Christ! Wear the Armor of God and prepare for a spiritual battle with all those nasty forces that will try to dissuade you from following Jesus!” This, as crude as it sounds, could be a more modern English way of summarizing Paul’s message to the Christian fellowship in Ephesus. The Apostle to the Gentiles (those outside of the people of Israel) tells us about that God-given role, and gives practical teachings about personal and relationship conduct. – Summary by Mark Penfold     [chương_files]
