The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans is unavailable, but you can change that!

R. St. John Parry’s notes on the Greek text of Romans are rich with insightful observations and explanations. His introduction includes a detailed overview of the Epistle to the Romans: its genuineness, the date and place it was written, its character and contents, and its purpose. Parry also explores the history of the Roman Church and the doctrine of Justification.

ἀπόστολος in its widest sense—a commissioned agent—then further defined in the following phrases. The nexus throughout the passage is by development of the implicit meaning into explicit statements, words forming the base of expanding thoughts. The name in its Christian use is derived from the Lord Himself, Mk. 3:14 = Lk. 6:13. See Add. Note H. ἀφωρισμένος. Cf. Gal. 1:15: repeats and enlarges the idea of κλητός = separation from all other human relations for this single purpose of absolute service
