When was Romans written in relation to Paul's vision of glory?

Romans was probably written about 60 A.D., which is at least 10 years after Paul received a glimpse of glory. The letter was composed quite a while after that experience, allowing Paul to write Romans 8 with full understanding, though inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Les explains that Romans chapter 8 was written quite a while after the Romans came, and Romans was probably written about 60 A.D. That means it was at least 10 years after Paul had the experience of getting a glimpse of glory. Les points out that Paul could therefore write with full understanding, even though it was inspired by the Holy Spirit. This supernatural glimpse of glory compensated for his trials and sufferings.
