Chronology of Paul’s Epistles

Rom. XV. 24 25. 26. 27.

Proves that this letter written from Corinth was written after he had received the contribution from Macedonia and Achaia that he speaks of in & Cor and before the date of the last of those letters to the Corinthians. But I Cor. was written before his separation from Barnabas as per Acts XV. 39: for he speaks of Barnabas as with him.

I Cor. IX. 6

I Cor. was it written?

In Rom XV. 25. He says he is going to Jerusalem to minister to the Saints, viz. to deliver the contribution of Macedonia & Achaia.

Was this the visit with Barnabas (Visit II) or after the rupture with Barnabas? If so, it never was accomplished. Unless it was the Visit with Barnabas when they went on the other errand.

Epistle to the Ephesians is stated at the end as being written from Rome — if so affords no evidence of the perjury — So likewise that to the Philippians — and that to the Colossians

Thessalonians I & II are stated at the end as written from Athens. N.B. Per Acts XVII. 1 He is then for the first time at Thessalonica

Per Acts XVII. 15. He is then at Athens.

Per Acts XVIII. then (for the first time?) at Corinth.

Hebrews which stands last and is stated as being written from Italy. They came after the above. These are the last to sets of persons except to come then those to Timothy, Titus & Philemon.

Chronology continued

I Cor. XVI. 1. Now concerning the collection for the saints as I have given order to the Churches of Galatia, even so do you.

N.B. This must have been before the date of the Epistles we have to the Galatians. This being before the visit to Rome that written from Rome, after Visit III to Jerusalem.

Acts XX. 31. Paul’s speech to Ephesians at Miletus, by the space of three years I ceased not &c. He continued therefore so long at Ephesus.

Sufferings boasted.

II. Tim. III. II. Persecutions &c at Antioch, Iconium, Lystra. These the only persecutions he can mention when making the most of them to Timothy. Confront this with his detail about the 39 stripes &c.

Persecution

Titus I. 15 Unto the pure all things pure

or §. Paul’s Character

Asceticism — Paul preaches Titus III. We ourselves serving divers lusts &c in reference to I. Cor. III. II

To be quoted in the of Paul’s condemnation of Peter &c for doing what himself did. Rom. II. 1 Therefore thou are inexcusable, O man &c.

To be quoted in proof of the perjury Rom II. 26. 29. circumcision needless

Competition proofs

Rom. III. 8. we slanderously reported to say Do evil that good may come.

I. Cor. XVI. 9. ‘many adversaries — he who then entered.

Boasting

II. Cor. XI. 1 to 33. 1. Would to God you could bear with me, a little on my folly:

and indeed bear with me―

2. For I am jealous over you with god by jealousy: for I have espoused you to one

husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

3. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty,

so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

4. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if

ye receive another spirit, which he have not received, or another gospel, which ye

have not accepted, y might well bear with him.

5. For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostle.

6. But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly

made manifest among you in all things.

7. Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I

have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

8. I robbed other churches, taking wages of them to do you service―

9. And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that

which was lacking to me, the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all

things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

10. As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the

region of Achaia.

11. Wherefore: because I love you not? God knoweth.

12. But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which

desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as me.
