Jesus v. Paul?
One of the attacks often made on the reliability of the New Testament is that Paul’s teachings differ greatly from the teachings of Jesus. In actuality, many of Paul’s teachings in his letters can be traced back directly to the teachings of Jesus recorded in the gospels, and Romans 12-14 is a great section of scripture to see that. Below I have provided a list (taken from John Stott’s commentary on Romans) that shows specific concepts that Paul takes from Jesus’ teachings and repeats in Romans 12-14.
