This epistle was addressed to the church of Rome, being principally formed of Jews, with some Gentile converts. The design of St. Paul is to show-. that the Gentiles could not by the law of nature, nor the Jews by the law of Moses, obtain justification before God; and that it must be sought by faith in Christ. II. that God has an absolute right to show mercy on what terms he pleases. ΠΑΥΛΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΥ Η ΠΡΟΣ ΚΟΡΙΝΘΙΟΥΣ ΕΠΙΣΤΟΛΗ ΠΡΩΤΗ.
