This week we are wrapping up the first major unit of Romans. Paul has laid the theological and historical foundation for his solutions to the problems on the ground in the Roman Church.  12-16 represent the practical application of 1-11, but context is still crucial.  As we move into the next section, try to pick up on what some of the specific problems may have been in the Roman Churh and how 1-11 speaks to some of those issues.
