Social Reciprocity and Gentile Debt to Jews in Romans 15:26-27

These and related questions are investigated as Peterman deals with Romans 15:26. He first makes comments on translation issues and the significance of the verse, then gives arguments for his conviction that Gentile Christians have a continuing debt to believing Jews.
