  5. 1st Roman Imprisonment • Acts 28:28-31 (NIV)—Paul at Rome. "Therefore I want you to know that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!" [29] [30] For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. [31] Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ. • —AD 63 acquitted and released by Nero. 64 is the great fire of Rome set by Nero and blamed on the Christians which inflames the city against Christians.

  6. Romans 1:7-15 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. [8] First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world. [9] God, whom I serve with my whole heart in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you [10] in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God's will the way may be opened for me to come to you.

  7. I Am A Debtor Romans 1:11-15 (NIV) I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong-- [12] that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith. [13] I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles. [14] I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. [15] That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome.
