Paul urges a gift eternal that is worked out in family life in Romans 6:23—look for "wages" and "sin". Align gift eternal with time and attention—bind joy to obedience.

Romans speaks here as epistle/letter writing, developing gift eternal. Read in Romans 6, its force becomes clearer. Listen for “wages” alongside “sin”.

Long‑standing tradition credits Romans to Paul. Romans is frequently described this way: widely regarded as Pauline.. Scholars commonly date Romans AD 57. Romans appears framed for Church in Rome.. Apostolic Community is especially relevant in this line. Paul’s argument unfolds from mercy to transformed life. Argument and structure guide interpretation across the letter.
