Romans opens with “Without Excuse” and carries its history toward “Him That Is Weak in the Faith Receive.” Paul writes to a church he has never visited and opens by saying he is not ashamed of the gospel. One man eats anything and another only herbs, and each is told not to despise or judge the other.
A clear path through the book’s major scenes, turning points, teachings, and lasting themes.
Romans 1–4
Paul writes to a church he has never visited and opens by saying he is not ashamed of the gospel. Then the case.

Abraham is called as the witness, because he was counted righteous before he was circumcised and before the law existed.
