TSK - ROMANS 16

  1  Paul wills the brethren to greet many;
17  and advises them to take heed of those which cause
    dissension and offences;
21  and after sundry salutations ends with praise and thanks to
    God.

VERSE 3 
 - Greet.
  Had the notes of time in this epistle fixed the writing of it
  to any date prior to Paul's first residence at Corinth,
  the salutation of Aquila and Priscilla would have contradicted
  the history, because it would have been prior to his
  acquaintance with these persons.  If they had fixed it during
  that residence at Corinth, during his journey to Jerusalem, or
  during his progress through Asia Minor, an equal contradiction
  would have been incurred because, during all that time, they
  were either with Paul, or abiding at Ephesus.  Lastly, had
  they fixed this epistle to be either contemporary with the
  first epistle to the Corinthians, or prior to it, a similar
  contradiction would have pursued, for they were then with Said.
  Paul.  As it is, all things are consistent.--See Dr. Paley.

        CONCLUDING REMARKS ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS.

The Epistle to the Romans is 'a writing,' says Dr. Macknight,
'which, for sublimity and truth of sentiment, for brevity and
strength of expression, for regularity in its structure, but
above all, for the unspeakable importance of the discoveries
which it contains, stands unrivalled by any mere human
composition, and as far exceeds the most celebrated productions
of the learned Greeks and Romans, as the shining of the sun
exceeds the twinkling of the stars.'  'The plan of it is very
extensive; and it is surprising to see what a spacious field of
knowledge is comprised, and how many various designs, arguments,
explications, instructions, and exhortations, are executed in so
small a compass....The whole Epistle is to be taken in
connection, or considered as one continued discourse; and the
sense of every part must be taken from the drift of the whole.
Every sentence, or verse, is not to be regarded as a distinct
mathematical proposition, or theorem, or as a sentence in the
book of Proverbs, whose sense is absolute, and independent of
what goes before, or comes after:  but we must remember, that
every sentence, especially in the argumentative part, bears
relation to, and is dependent upon, the whole discourse, and
cannot be rightly understood unless we understand the scope and
drift of the whole; and therefore, the whole Epistle, or at
least the eleven first chapters of it, ought to be read over at
once, without stopping.  As to the use and excellency of this
Epistle, I shall leave it to speak for itself, when the reader
has studied and well digested its contents....This Epistle will
not be difficult to understand, if our minds are unprejudiced,
and at liberty to attend to the subject, and to the current
scriptural sense of the words used.  Great care is taken to
guard and explain every part of the subject; no part of it is
left unexplained or unguarded.  Sometimes notes are written
upon a sentence, liable to exception and wanting explanation, as
ch. ii. 12-16.  Here the 13th and 15th verses are a comment upon
the former part of it.  Sometimes are found comments upon a
single word; as ch. x. 11-13.  The 12th and 13th verses are a
comment upon [pas <3956>,] every one, in the 11th.  This Epistle
displays a perspicuous brevity, as ch. v. 13, 14.  For until the
law sin was in the world, etc.  Surely never was there a greater
variety of useful sentiments crowded into a smaller compass; and
yet so skilfully, that one part very clearly explains
another....It is by the Holy Spirit's influence, that the
apostle has brought such a variety of arguments, instructions,
and sentiments, all stated, proved, and sufficiently guarded,
explained, and defended, within the limits of a letter; which
has made it a magazine of the most real, extensive, useful,
profitable, and divine knowledge.  The Jews are treated with
great caution and tenderness....The transitions and advances to
an ungrateful subject are very interesting; as ch. ii. 1-17;
17 8:17.  Here is found complicated design, and while teaching
one thing, gives us an opportunity of learning one or two more.
So ch. 1 13:1-8, is taught the duty of subjects, and at the
same time civil officers are instructed in their duty, and the
grounds of their authority.  The inspired writer never loses
sight of his subject, and writes under a deep and lively sense
of the truth and importance of the Gospel, as a man who clearly
understood it, and in whose heart and affections it reigned far
superior to all temporal considerations.'
