Excerpt from Expositor

This Epistle could not have been written if St. Peter had been at Rome at the time; nor could he have been there at any later time previous to the date of the Epistle to the Philippians. Hence, as Meyer Observes, it furnishes a decisive proof that the alleged fact on which the whole Papal system rests-viz, that St. Peter for twenty-five years was exercising the functions of a bishop at Rome is purely imaginary. But it does not follow that, as some over-zealous Protestants contend, he was never there. The tradition of his presence and martyrdom need not, and ought not, to be disputed. In the Greeting (verses 1 with which the Epistle opens, two objects are uppermost in St. Paul's thoughts. TO assert the dignity of his apostolical Office in its relation to Christ and to God. To recognize the high condition of those whom he addresses, both as partakers of a Divine calling, and as placed by Divine Providence in a conspicuous position, commanding Singular advan tages and Opportunities, as inhabiting the metropolis of the civilized world.
