#280: Romans 12-16 | Junia the apostle

Paul gives us some good advice in chapter 12: love others, do good, avoid evil. But then in the next chapter he says that all rulers are appointed by God and must be obeyed. In chapter 15, Paul says it's okay for us to eat whatever we want - even veggies, if you're a weakling. Just be sure to be fully persuaded in your own mind. Because whoever doubts is damned. The letter seems to have two endings. Chapter 15 ends with "The God of peace be with you all", but then Paul gives a shout out to 28 Roman Christians in chapter 16, including the Junia - a female apostle!
