100 POINTS NEED ASAP

Read one or more letters of Paul, Peter, or John to see the effectiveness of good letter writing. Reflecting on your reading: In 5-6 sentences, explain which letter(s) you read and a technique the writer used in his letter that made it effective. What was the author’s intent (persuasive, expository, argumentative, cautionary, etc.)? Was it effective? Make sure to include parenthetical citations for any direct quotes and a Works cited entry for the edition of the Bible used. No more than 10% of your paragraph can be in direct quotes.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One letter I read was Paul's letter to the Romans. In his letter, Paul uses rhetorical questions to make his points, such as "What then shall we say?" and "Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?" . This technique engages the reader and invites them to think critically about their beliefs. Paul's intent is to persuade the Romans to understand the doctrine of justification by faith, as well as to unify the Jewish and Gentile Christian communities. I found the letter effective because it presents a clear and organized argument, and Paul provides examples from the Old Testament to support his points. The letter is also relevant today, as it deals with issues of sin and salvation that are still important in Christianity.
