Hilborn (2002) argues that in the wider passage (Romans 1:18-32) Paul writes that the "global scope of salvation history has been made manifest not only in 'the gospel of God's Son' (cf. v.9), but also in the very 'creation of the world' (v.20)."
Hilborn (op cit) argumenteerib, et laiemas lõigus (Roomlastele 1:18–32) kirjutab Paulus, et "päästmise ajaloo globaalset ulatust on ilmutatud mitte ainult 'Jumala Poja evangeeliumis' (cf. v.9), vaid seejuures ka 'maailma enda loomises' (v.20)."
