The author shows how Paul creates the image of the righteous Apostlereferring to arguments and witnesses in order to authenticate the self-portraitfound in Rom 9,1-5 as well as the credibility of the arguments submitted;this is so also in section Rom 9,6–11,36. Paul carefully planned the rhetoricalstrategy and strengthened the arguments competently, as well as theauthority and credibility of the witnesses cited. In the adopted rhetoric andtheological strategy, he refers three times to the biblical legal tradition of theneed to appoint two or three witnesses. He thus built the triple sequence ofthe next three testimonies: 1. “I say the truth in Christ”; 2. “I’m not lying;3. “My conscience in the Holy Spirit testifies to my conscience.” Then he presented three witnesses with the highest authority and credibility: 1. Godin Christ; 2. The conscience of the Apostle; 3. The Holy Spirit. Throughoutthe section, the quoted texts are cited from three great biblical traditions:1. legal; 2. prophetic; 3. sapiential. Therefore, the Apostle consistently presented the maximum number of witnesses (three), additionally multipliedby three autonomous circles.
