Summary/Abstract: In this article, I observe how and why Apostle Paul introduced elements of stoicism into his Epistle to the Romans. By comparing Paul to the exponents of this philosophical school, namely Seneca and Epictetus, I focus on their use of diatribe, reasonable worship, body metaphor and pattern examples in the process of teaching. The ways in which these phenomena helped Paul to formulate his mes¬sage of faith in Jesus Christ give us an insight into new perspectives of the Epis¬tle’s reception.
