Excerpt from Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans

There is no intimation of this kind in the New Testament; and we know that Paul made it his rule not to build on another man's foundation. (rom. 15 20; compare 2 Cor. 10 14 He speaks of the Romans as belonging to his field of labor (1: 13 and from the salutations in chap. 16, it appears that, although he had not yet visited them, many of them had been intimately connected with him. (16: 3 - 9, 11, While, therefore, there is every probability that the church at Rome was not founded by the direct labors of any apostle, it seems to have been more closely connected in its early history with the labors of Paul than with those of any of the rest. [we may therefore say of Paul, that he was, directly or indirectly, the founder of all the historic churches of Asia Minor and of Europe.
