Who was Paul writing to in Romans?

Paul was writing to believers in the city of Rome, who were primarily Gentiles. He addresses believers in Rome, predominantly Gentile Christians, while explaining his longing to visit Jerusalem and his love for the Jewish people, as the passage makes clear.

Les teaches that Paul was writing to believers in the city of Rome, who were primarily Gentiles. Paul had a burning love for his people the Jew and was determined to get back to Jerusalem. He wrote boldly to these Gentile believers because of the grace given to him, so that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. He also spoke of making the Gentiles obedient by word and deed through what Christ had wrought through him. This letter addresses believers in Rome, not only Jews, but primarily Gentiles.
