The Romans theme was the revelation of God’s righteousness in His plan for salvation. It showed how humans began to lack God’s righteousness because of their sin (Romans, 1:3), receive God’s righteousness when God justifies them by their faith (Romans, 4:5), demonstrate God’s righteousness by being transformed from rebels to followers (Romans, 6:8), confirm His righteousness when God saves the Jews (Romans, 9:11), and apply His righteousness in practical ways throughout their lives (Romans, 12:16).

Paul wrote to The Book of Romans from the Corinth, which is a Greek city in AD 57. After staying many days in Corinth, Paul set out on a journey to Syria and remained some time in Ephesus. Paul then returned to Caesarea, then went down to Jerusalem, and after that he went up to the church in Antioch. Paul’s main themes in the letter were, the Gospel, God's plan of salvation and righteousness for all mankind, Jew and Gentile alike (Romans, 1:16-17).

When he wrote the letters, he wrote it in a solemn and on restrained stone. Most of Paul’s letters tend to be written in response to specific crises.
