As we have discussed Paul is writing this letter to the church at Rome, a church, a body of believers, both Jew and Gentile. Chapter one he was addressing the whole congregation. Chapter two he begins to focus his attention more on just the Jews in that church. Now halfway through this chapter he begins to take another turn as he addresses the “whole” church. Even though his letter is addressed to the Church in Rome, Paul begins to speak in generalities of the entire body of Christ.
