Romans 15:15 : But I write the more boldly unto you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the grace that was given me of God. Paul gave his reason for writing so boldly to them--"because of the grace that was given me of God." Paul speaks of his being made an apostle as grace bestowed upon him. On this point see also Romans 12:3; 1 Corinthians 3:10; 1 Corinthians 15:9; Galatians 2:9; Ephesians 3:7. The phrase, "in some measure," is somewhat vague but some authorities tell us that the Greek phrase means, in part, or partly, or somewhat. Part of his purpose in writing to them was to put them again yin remembrance--to stir up their memories concerning things they had been taught, but he did not say this was his sole purpose in writing them. In fact, he had also discussed the great principles of God's dealing with men and nations in the development of his plans.
