The epistle to the Romans was composed as a theological treatise to unify diverse believers under one doctrinal understanding amidst growing challenges.

The early church faced immense external pressure and internal judaizing influences that sought to add law-keeping to grace.

GotQuestions: What does it mean to mark and avoid?

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.

Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.
