People's Commentary (NT)
Romans 1:14
I am a debtor. He owed it, or was under obligation to preach the
gospel
both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians. The Greeks called other
people but themselves barbarians, but in the apostolic age the Romans
were excepted. The cultured Greeks and the proud Romans looked with
contempt on all other races. Paul is a debtor to both, and must give
them the gospel. Hence he is so anxious to labor at Rome.
Both to the wise, and to the and unwise. Here the division into
two classes turns on knowledge, instead of race. His meaning is that
the gospel must be offered to every class.
