Pauline scholarship has often struggled with the question of who is included when Paul uses the first-person plural, “we,” in Romans, but so far an overall analysis of this language in Paul’s letter has been lacking.

Итог:Pauline scholarship has often struggled with the question of who is included when Paul uses the first-person plural, “we,” in Romans, but so far an overall analysis of this language in Paul’s letter has been lacking. This article provides a general overview of the first-person plural in Romans, proposes a methodological approach to the problem, and applies that approach in order to solve several intricate and controversial cases, including ἐλάβομεν in 1:5, προεχόμεθα in 3:9a, and the notable crux interpretum, προῃτιασάμεθα in 3:9b. It is argued that “we” in Romans can be classified into three basic categories in this respect: (1) “we” including Paul and his addressees and/or Jesus believers in general, (2) “we” including Paul and his co-workers, and (3) “we” including the diatribal addressees (not including Paul himself). While the last category applies to προεχόμεθα, both ἐλάβομεν and προῃτιασάμεθα include Paul and his co-workers (category 2).
