Soteriological-Christological

...apart from sin and its consequences, Paul sees no place for Christ and his activity. Apart from the sin of Adam and its universal repercussions (Rom. 5:12-19), there is no need for the last Adam. “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Tim. 1:15)...For Paul Christology and soteriology are coterminous; he has no Christological interests that are not also soteriological.
