Lesson: Vindication for Writing

I have therefore whereof I may glory through ("in") Jesus Christ

Here the apostle gives some clarification regarding himself and His ministry. Having mentioned his ministry and apostleship, he goes on further to elaborate on the effectiveness of his office, and to give glory of God for the great success of his ministry and for the wonderful things that God had done through him to encourage the Christian church at Rome; that they were not alone in professing Christianity, although, when compared with the huge number of their idolatrous neighbors, they were just a little flock, and yet, up and down the country, there were many that were their companions in the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
