 A Note on Romans 12
In addition the apostolic leaders in Jerusalem knew that Paul was the chief gospel-witness among the gentiles, and they wanted to be sure that the gentile mission, now swelling rapidly, was informed by the gospel and not by a distortion of the gospel or a dilution of it.
Moreover, Paul was a Roman citizen by birth, and naturally enough he wanted to visit the city which had accorded him this rare privilege.
Finally he had had enough and told the Roman officials in Jerusalem that he was a citizen of Rome and it was his right to have his trial heard in Rome.

 "God Over All" in Romans 9:5: Translation Issues and Theological Import
If Romans 9:5 is accepted as an exclamation of praise and thanks to God the Father for sending Jesus Christ through those to whom God's "covenants and the giving of the Law and the sacred service and the promises" were given (Ro 9:4), then we should likewise be moved with appreciation for God's undeserved kindness.
When texts like Romans 9:5 are used by Trinitarians in an attempt to prove their view of God, the question of translation is appropriate, but more significant is the question of how the terms involved in the argument are used.
Codex B uses middle points throughout Romans 8, and the point after machaira ("sword") in 8:35 is quite similar in its height to the point after "flesh" in 9:5.

So again in Romans 8:1 after declaring, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,” and after saying, “The Spirit Himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ” (vv.

Paul then asks the Roman church to serve her needs: I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of God’s people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me (v.
Paul then turns to one last, presumably important, exhortation: I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned.
And since the Roman churches already have different practices (about meat and days, for example), they are vulnerable to divisive teachings.

 [Inner Wheels] > Romans 10 - Yod - The End of the Law
The verse from I Timothy is particularly interesting in that it is immediately followed by a list that mimics the structure of the Ten Commandments.
Likewise, the appearance of "the end of the law" in Romans 10 completes the integration of the Inner Cycle of Romans with the Ten Commandments which is particularly clear in Romans 7 (Seventh Commandment) and Romans 9 (Ninth Commandment).
This is an extreme case of the phenomenon we see in the Inner Wheel of Revelation, where the Cheir appears 17 times, with the maximum being found in Revelation 10.
