Biblical studies examine Paul’s writings in Corinthians and Romans

Religious educational materials provide outlines for studying the New Testament writings of the Apostle Paul.

One study focuses on 2 Corinthians 13, examining Paul’s closing remarks to the Corinthian Christians. The lesson addresses Paul’s use of evidentiary standards, such as the requirement of two or three witnesses, and his warnings regarding the testing of his leadership and authority.

Another study examines Romans 5:1-8, discussing the timing of the arrival of Jesus. The text notes that the historical context of the Pax Romana, the use of Koine Greek, and established travel routes facilitated the spread of the message. The lesson emphasizes the proactive nature of the plan for salvation described by Paul.
