Paul's royal Christology not only forms an inclusio for Romans (1:1-7 with 15:7-13) but also functions as a significant framing pattern in Romans 5-8 where Paul uses the christological formula "our Lord Jesus the Messiah" (or its equivalent) at key points (5:1, 11, 21; 6:23; 7:25; 8:1, 39) to sum up his argument. This christological formula and framing pattern implies that in order to have a more robust understanding of Romans, we need to accept Paul's invitation to read the letter as a messianic discourse. Specifically, it is necessary to examine how Paul constructs this messianic discourse in 5:1-11, which previews 5:12-8:39. This work posits that one of the resources that Paul employs in his Christ-language is the ancient script of royal benefaction. Paul depicts Christ in both conventional and surprising ways as a royal benefactor whose superior gift delivers, empowers, and sustains his followers.To substantiate our claim that Paul's Christ-language in 5:1-11 (and in 5:12-8:39) is inextricably embedded in the ancient royal benefaction system, this study develops an interpretive framework by surveying the practice of royal benefaction as found in Greco-Roman and Jewish sources. The aim here is two-fold: To understand how the ancient writers describe the ideal ruler within the framework of royal benefaction and to understand how the people are expected to respond to the ruler's benefactions. The ideal ruler is a generous gift-giver who loves his country and desires to be honored. Yet gift-giving is discriminatory, obligatory, and a means of guarding status. Those who have received benefactions are expected to reciprocate by offering gratitude and loyalty to the ruler.Having established an interpretive framework, the study then investigates three related questions. First, if it is the case that Paul is depicting Jesus as the supreme royal benefactor in 5:1-11, then what benefaction motifs does he use and how does such a depiction serve as a helpful context for interpreting Paul's argument in 5:12-8:39? Second, how does Jesus Christ's benefaction both integrate the ancient royal benefaction system while simultaneously offering a variant form of benefaction? Lastly, in light of the ethic of reciprocity, does Paul view believers as under obligation to give loyalty and obedience to the Messiah for his benefaction? The argument throughout this work is that Paul portrays Jesus Christ as the supreme royal benefactor whose commitment to his followers guarantees their eternal glorious status before God and demands faithful response to his lordship even in suffering.
