  • BINDING OBLIGATIONS in ROMANS 13:7: a SEMANTIC FIELD and SOCIAL CONTEXT Thomas M
    Tyndale Bulletin 48.2 (1997) 307-327. BINDING OBLIGATIONS IN ROMANS 13:7: A SEMANTIC FIELD AND SOCIAL CONTEXT Thomas M. Coleman Summary Insufficient attention has been given to the meaning of the four distinctive terms φόρος τέλος φόβος used in Romans 13:7: ‘tribute’ ( ), ‘tax’ ( ), ‘reverence’ ( ), and τιμή ‘honour’ ( ). This article will discuss these terms in relation to the Graeco- Roman semantic field of political obligation, dividing them into the categories of ‘tangible’ obligations (tribute and tax) and ‘intangible’ obligations (reverence and honour). We will also examine Romans 13:7 in light of the social context of the Neronean era, in which there was an increasing burden of taxation and the introduction of legal penalties for failure to show due reverence and honour to those in authority. I. Introduction Commentators have glossed over the significance of the four terms which Paul uses in Romans 13:7—terms which describe the obligations that Christians have toward civic authorities: ‘tribute’ φόρος τέλος φόβος τιμή ( ), ‘tax’ ( ), ‘reverence’ ( ), and ‘honour’ ( ). For example, in his pre-war commentary on Romans, R.C.H. Lenski commented, in regard to Romans 13:7, that there was no unique significance in Paul’s use of these terms.1 Lenski argued that the apostle’s ‘great positive principles… apply to all times, to us as well as to the Romans, to our relation to our secular government as well as to their relation to theirs’.2 C.E.B. Cranfield, likewise, discounted the particular relevance which Paul’s words may have had for the Roman Christians, but for different reasons.

  • THE CROSS and the CHRISTIAN's CALLING Romans 15-16
    The Cross and Christian Community The Cross and the Christian’s Calling Dr. David Platt September 29, 2013 THE CROSS AND THE CHRISTIAN’S CALLING Romans 15-16 Before you open your Bible, I want to pray for what is about to happen in the next few minutes. Acts 13 tells us that while the church at Antioch was worshiping and fasting and praying, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them” (Acts 13:2). I’ve often wondered how that happened. Exactly how did the Holy Spirit say this? I don’t know the answer to that question, but I do know that as a result of what the Holy Spirit said on that day, a missionary movement was born that led to the spread of the gospel throughout the known world in the first century. Earlier this month, we set aside a day to fast as a faith family, and we came together that night. One of the things we prayed for specifically was this day. We fasted and we prayed that God might see fit in our worship gatherings today to say by His Spirit, “Set apart these people for the work to which I have called them.” We’ve been praying ever since that day for the same thing: That by His Spirit through His Word in our worship today God might call certain ones of us from Brook Hills, from Birmingham to spread the gospel in places outside of Birmingham. Just so you know where this is all going, at the end of our time in the Word today, I’m going to invite anyone—any individuals, any couples, any families—in this room who believe the Lord may be setting you apart to move outside of Birmingham for the spread of the gospel to stand where you are, so that we can pray with you about that possibility in your life or your family.

Romans SECTION OUTLINE ONE (ROMANS 1) Paul opens his letter to the Roman church by talking about God's anger with sin. The opening chapter may be thought of as a trial, where God is the judge and sinful humans are the accused. I. THE COURT RECORDER (1:1-17): Here Paul, author of Romans, provides his readers with some pretrial introductory material. A. His credentials (1:1, 5): Paul relates four facts about himself. 1. He is a servant of Jesus (1:1a). 2. He is an apostle (1:1b). 3. He has been set apart to preach the gospel (1:1c). 4. He is a missionary to the Gentiles (1:5). B. His Christ (1:2-4) 1.

  • 15 Week Romans Community Group Guide Copy.Pages
    ! ! Community Group ! ! Guide ! Romans 13:1-14| Week 15 | 5/11/2014 1. Look at the 4 critical gospel questions on the next page. Think through the questions out loud. How do they help you to see through a gospel lens? 2. Why is it important to think through the good news of what God has done before we think about what we must do? In other words, what has God already accomplished and what will your good-doing never accomplish? 3. When you read the 4 questions in reverse order (4 Questions to Identify your Idols on page 2), you can identify the motives and core beliefs of your actions. Think about these questions out loud. Do they help you? (An Example: I am living like it all rests upon me. I think I must be in control. God is not in control. God is either not powerful or he doesn’t care about me. Conclusion: I must be my own God.) 4. What is the main point in Romans 13:1-7? What are the similarities between living as a citizen of a country and living as a member of a household? 5. In what ways do we try to get around submitting to authorities? (Romans 13:1-7) 6. How does Romans 12:17-21 (in particular verse 18) speak to Romans 13:1-7? 7. What is it about human nature that pushes back against authority? How are you most tempted to rebel against authority? 8. There are a few acts of civil disobedience in the Bible (Moses, Daniel, and Esther to name a few).

  • Romans 3:9-20; Bible Study
    Romans 3:9-20; Bible Study Why does Paul focus on sin at the beginning of his letter? Because the reality of our sin is the foundation for the gospel. We must emphasize the reality and seriousness of our sin in order to present the Good News of freedom from sin and have our guilty conscience cleansed (Hebrews 9:11-14). Read Romans 3:9-20 What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin,... This is a concluding statement for Romans 1:18-3:8. The Jews are not better off because they had the revelation of God and His salvation in the Old Testament. This is because simply having and reading God’s Word did not guarantee them salvation. They had to believe what God’s Word revealed to them - that they are sinners just as the Gentiles are. The Gentiles were convicted by the evidence for God in creation and their consciences, while the Jews were convicted by the written law in the Old Testament. All mankind is in need of the same salvation for the same reason...because we are born in bondage to sin separating us from God. Read Ephesians 2:1-10 It is very important to remember our own salvation when discussing sin as we share the gospel with others. It gives us the necessary humility and gentleness when discussing the need to repent of sin with others. To emphasize the reality of the human condition, Paul quotes a number of passages from the Old Testament (as it is written) in verses 10-18 that reveals sin and the inability to obey the law for salvation.

R o m a n s 1 5 Study Guide P a g e | 1 NOTES Chapter 15 A Final Call for Unity It is always difficult to give up one’s rights and privileges, but even more so when asked to give up what one likes or enjoys so as not to create an offence for someone that you may only marginally like personally. Is this asking too much? Are we willing to yield to the legalistic brother in our church in order to not encourage him not to violate his conscience? How much are we willing to give up for the sake of unity in the Body of Christ? David described this biblical principle in Ps 133:1, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for the brothers to dwell together in unity!” What is the intent of Jesus in John 10:16 and Rev 21:1-4? A general theme throughout the epistles is the need to overcome any cultural hang-ups or dislikes of each other over ethnic or cultural differences in order to build unity (Read Col 3:11-14 in the context of cultural dislikes, and ethnic prejudices which were rampant in the early churches).

  • UNITED with CHRIST -- SET FREE from SIN an EXEGESIS of ROMANS 6:1-14 Translation Exegetical Outline
    UNITED WITH CHRIST -- SET FREE FROM SIN AN EXEGESIS OF ROMANS 6:1-14 Translation 1 Therefore, what shall we say? Shall we remain in sin, in order that grace might abound? 2 May it never be! How shall we--the very ones who died to sin--still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore, we were buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, in the same way we also might walk in the newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall also be (united with Him in the likeness of His) resurrection. 6 Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with (Him), in order that the body of sin might be destroyed (rendered ineffective), that we might no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died has been vindicated from sin. 8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, will no longer die; death no longer has power over Him. 10 For that (the death) which He died, He died to sin once for all time. But that (the life) which He lives, He lives to God. 11 In the same way you also reckon yourselves to be dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

  • Romans 13:1-7—On the Abuse of Biblical Texts and Correlative Abuse
    Romans 13:1-7—On the Abuse of Biblical Texts and Correlative Abuse Thus, while Sessions’s appeal to biblical authorization has failed, the larger question is why. Is it that the Bible has been interpreted adequately and rejected by modern society? Or, might it be that a flawed interpretation of a Biblical text has been wielded to support a problematic ordinance, calling for a closer look this notorious passage from Romans? Indeed, the latter is the case, and here’s why. See Also: From Crisis to Christ (Abingdon Press, 2014). By Paul N. Anderson George Fox University Newberg, Oregon June 2018 Anything or anyone that has authority, appeal, or sway will be co-opted and used rhetorically by others. Write that down. Learn it. It will never not be so.1 That includes such authorities the governments, athletes, celebrities, puppies… and the Bible. And, one of the most appealed-to-yet-misused texts is Romans 13:1-7. The incident with Jeff Sessions last week punctuates this problem in unfortunate ways. The separation of children from parents at the border is needlessly traumatic, and more humane alternatives to managing immigration policies must be found by all three branches of government: the Administration, the Judiciary, and the Congress. Zero-tolerance warnings of children separated from their parents as a disincentive to illegal immigration is inhumanely cruel, but decrying the plight of children during one administration but not the previous three is a bit disingenuous. What is needed is a congressional bill that is compassionate, fair, and manageable— one that will endure from one administration to another.

PERSONAL MATTERS AND DOXOLOGY - ROMANS 15:14-16:27 ○ 15:18-21 – He reviews his missionary labors and his practice of preaching where Christ wasn’t known. ○ 15:18 – Paul’s goal in evangelism is not merely some kind of conversion experience, but completely changed lives. ○ The object of our evangelism must be to make disciples of Christ in accordance with Matt 28:19-20. ○ The goal of evangelism is complete life change. 3 PERSONAL MATTERS AND DOXOLOGY - ROMANS 15:14-16:27 ○ 15:18 – Paul shows us how central evangelism is to him. ● The thing he was most excited about was the people he had seen pass from death to life through his ministry ○ We may not have Paul’s calling or all his gifts, but we are called to make disciples of all nations and to be prepared to give an answer for the hope that we have so that we can make the most of every opportunity (1 Peter 3:15, Colossians 4:5) ○ 15:18,19 – Paul did not only get the message of the gospel across by speaking, but by his life and actions.

  • Phone Call Bible Class Notes ROMANS 15 NOTES
    Phone Call Bible Class Notes FOR THE LESSON ON SUNDAY, May 31, 2020 ROMANS 15 NOTES* (based on NASB) “Reach” Romans 15:14-21; 30-31 (BACKGROUND TEXT: Romans 15:14-16:27) INTRODUCTION: • Romans among the Letters of Paul. o Romans begins a set of twelve letters written by Paul in the New Testament. Great men of God through the centuries have feasted on the riches of the Book of Romans. Martin Luther once said, “This Epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest Gospel, and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it every day, as the daily bread of the soul. It can never be read or pondered too much, and the more it is dealt with the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes.” o Romans was probably written from ancient Greece, possibly from the city of Corinth about 57 AD during the latter part of Paul’s third missionary journey. Ancient Corinth was a city state located on an isthmus that joins the Peloponnesian peninsula to the mainland of Greece, about 3½ miles southwest of the modern city of Corinth. o Paul seeks to resolve a “human problem” in the letter to the Romans. Certainly, this deals with problems between the Gentile and the Jew, but far more than that. He digs deep into the basic problem of sinful mankind. Then, he even digs into the difficulties faced by the immature Christian, and he exposes the profound hope that God brings to all people.
