Excerpt from The Epistle to the Romans: With Introduction and Notes That this Epistle is a genuine production of the Apostle Paul is beyond all dispute. It is admitted even by the most advanced critics of the negative or destructive school. If external evidence is required, it is certain that before the Close of the first century it was quoted or referred to by Clement of Rome in his Letter to the Corinthian Church; by Justin Martyr in the middle and by Irenaeus before the close of the second century in the precious Epistle of the Churches of Vienne and Lyons, as also by Clement of Alexandria and Tertullian, in the third century; and recognised by all succeeding writers, both orthodox and heretical, as canonical Scripture. And so fully does internal evidence attest its genuineness, that it is im possible to have any rational doubt about it. On the doubt that has been thrown on the two last chapters, and the closing doxology, we need only refer the reader to the notes on those places.
