‏ Romans 15:30-33

15:31  a Pray that I will be rescued from those in Judea who refuse to obey God: See Acts 21–22  b. God preserved Paul’s life and used the circumstances of his arrest in Jerusalem to take him precisely where he planned to go—Rome.
15:33  c Some manuscripts do not include Amen. One very early manuscript places the doxology (16:25-27  d) here. This has led some scholars to conclude that the original letter to the Romans consisted of only 1:1–15:33  e, but few now follow this theory. The best early manuscripts place the doxology at the end of ch 16  f, and the whole of ch 16  g was most likely part of Paul’s original letter to the Romans. See also study note on 16:1-16.
