Romans - Chapter-16

Chapter Summary

The outflow of Christian love. Closing salutations and benediction.

How are women portrayed in this chapter (ex. Phoebe in verse 1 and Junia verse 7, CSB)? Does this fit with or challenge Paul's historical context? Does this fit with or challenge our own context? Explain how?
What can we learn from the fact that Paul spends so much time greeting people in this chapter? How can we apply this to our own fellowship with other Christians today?
What can we learn from the fact that Paul hasn't met the Romans yet? How can we expand our own circle today beyond just people we already know?
What is Paul's relationship to others in his work? What are some ways we can recognize our own need for partnership in ministry?
What are some ways the church today can recognize faithful members as Paul does in this chapter?
What are some ways we can reach out to people who are outside of our immediate church community as Paul does in this chapter?
Have you seen examples of the destruction of the appetites that Paul talks about in verse 17-18? How can Christians guard against this?
Do we rejoice when others are obedient as Paul does in verse 19? Why or why not? How can we do so more?
What are some other passages you might use to explain what Paul is talking about in verse 20? How might you use this verse to share the gospel with an unbeliever?
How might you use verse 20 to encourage a believer experiencing spiritual darkness?

Greetings, v. 3, etc.

God, Jesus, Paul, many of the gospel helpers, Satan.
