page 365 note 2 Cullmann's contention that II Thess. ii. I f. alludes to the Roman emperor is an assertion unfounded on anything in that specific passage itself; and indeed Cullmann's interpretation is based upon the prior assumption that Rom. xiii. 1–7 is legitimately Pauline and can therefore be taken as an elucidating parallel to the Thessalonian passage—an assumption which we are here denying.Google Scholar

page 366 note 2 See Barrett, C. K., The Epistle to the Romans (London, 1957), p. 244. Barrett, however, does not of course see the seven verses as an interpolation. However, full weight must be given to his two observations that (I) this is a self-contained treatment of a special theme not immediately related to what precedes or follows, and (2) this new theme is abruptly introduced with no organic literary connexion to its surroundings.Google Scholar
