| + | The above map has a single point marking who Paul addresses in Romans. Below is a quotation directly extracted from ''The Waste Land'' that alludes to Romans: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Gentile or Jew | ||
| + | |||
| + | O you who turn the wheel and look to windward, | ||
| + | |||
| + | Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you. (ln 319-321) | ||
| + | |||
| + | The phrase "[g]entile or [j]ew" refers the reader to Romans 3:9-12. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::::9. What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles | ||
| + | ::::alike are all under the power of sin. | ||
| + | ::::10. As it is written: | ||
| + | ::::“There is no one righteous, not even one; | ||
| + | ::::11. there is no one who understands; | ||
| + | ::::there is no one who seeks God. | ||
| + | ::::12. All have turned away, | ||
| + | ::::they have together become worthless; | ||
| + | ::::there is no one who does good, | ||
| + | ::::not even one.” | ||
