Paul has a number of different audiences, but he speaks to them from a common perspective. While he introduces new explanations and concepts in Romans, we’re going to hear many themes we’ve heard before.

Notice how the following five Romans passages match things you’ve already heard Paul say to the Galatians, Thessalonians and Corinthians.
