ROMANS BY JOHN GILL FIGURES OF SPEECH BY E.W. BULLINGER

About this book: Though this epistle of Romans is placed immediately following theActs of the Apostles, it was not the first written. Paul wrote several epistles beforethis one, such as the two epistles to the Thessalonians, the two to the Corinthians,his first epistle to Timothy, and the one to Titus. This epistle stands first becauseof its excellency or the dignity of the place where the persons lived to whom it iswritten, Rome, the imperial city of his time. Its excellence comes from teachingall humanity that eternal life is available for all those who seek it according to thedesign God established before He created the universe in eternity past.
