Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
All Commentaries on Romans 1:1 Go To Romans 1
Severian of Gabala
AD 425
Paul here preaches the divinity of Christ to a world which was ignorant of it. Many people saw the Lord, and others believed in him without seeing, but Paul was called from heaven: “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” He was more highly favored than the other apostles, for the Lord called Peter and James and John and made them his disciples; he did not immediately make or call them apostles. But he made Paul an apostle as soon as he called him. Thus the gospel is preached according to the plan of God. .
