St. Paul speaking to the early community of Christians in the letter to the Romans reminds them of who they are: "I am convinces about you, brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with knowledge, and able to admonish one another."
You are full of goodness.
Paul raises the bar. It is a saying that people will live up to the expectations placed upon them. If you remind them of their goodness while admonishing them then in deed they will begin to live the goodness that you perceive.
You are full of goodness.
St. Paul is both reminding them of the goodness that he sees but also encouraging them to continue to live that goodness for others.
Basically, St. Paul is telling them that they got the right stuff, they just got to let it out.
