Question

This biblical book says that a woman remarrying after being widowed is not committing adultery and analogizes that to the relationship between law and the divine. This book discourages arguing with God by discussing how potters pick clay for special rather than ordinary uses. This book condemns only dietary practices that make others “stumble” (-5[1])in a passage about how “the weak eat only vegetables,” and it also provides an introduction to (*) Phoebe. Martin Luther called this book the most important in the New Testament (-5[1])and inserted (-5[1])the word “allein” (10[1])(“ahl-INE”), or alone, into (10[1])a critical passage. This (10[1])epistle, which mentions Junia, states, “the wages of sin are death.” For 10 points, name this epistle about the relationship between salvation and faith, which does not mention its title city’s bishop, Peter. ■END■ (10[4]0[1])
