Well stated.

Paul was the Apostle to the Gentiles and explicitly sent to the Romans.

It is interesting to note that as a Pharisee, Paul’s soul was still scarred by his past associations with fellow Jews and always planned to return to Jerusalem to teach the Jews about Christ, but in God the Father’s Plan, Paul was an Apostle to the Gentiles, not an Apostle to the Jews.

Nearly every time Paul tried to return to Jerusalem or change his travel itinerary, God’s Providence in logistics drove events, whether they were earthquakes or storms or being freed out of prison.

Paul was an Apostle. He was also an Israelite like the other Apostles. He was on a special mission to the Gentiles (he had Roman citizenship for example and was highly educated), yet he was still an Apostles to the Jews.
