Synopsis

Notes Expository Of The Greek Of The First Chapter Of The Romans; With Remarks On The Force Of Certain Synonyms, Etc by Benjamin Wills Newton presents a mid-19th-century scholarly exegesis of Paul's opening of Romans. The work foregrounds a meticulous survey of the Greek wording and syntax in Romans 1:1–7, emphasizing how precise lexical choices and prepositional uses shape doctrinal understanding. Newton analyzes terms such as apostle, servant, gospel, and the phrase Gospel of God, alongside the concept of the obedience of faith and the righteousness of God, to argue for a clear, text-driven interpretation of the gospel as revealed in Christ. The notes traverse distinctions between “according to the Spirit” and “according to the flesh,” and discuss the implications of phrases concerning Jesus’ Sonship, the incarnation, and resurrection. Rich in philological detail, the work also comments on the use of the Greek particles and verbs that illuminate Paul’s argument for justification by faith and the divine sequence of gospel articulation. It serves as a rigorous resource for students of Pauline language and theology.
