Romans Chapter 16
IN THIS LESSON
Have you ever seen someone causing division and problems in the church? What are they trying to accomplish? What are their hidden motives? How can we recognize when certain teachings are not in line with the sound Christian teaching Paul refers to in verse 17? Have you experienced something like this in your own life? What verses or stories come to mind when reading verses 19–20? And what do Paul’s mentions of Timothy, Tertius, Gaius, and Erastus reveal about everyday Christian life in the early church?
