Paul’s appeal in this verse, then, is to source-of-authority No. 1, the specific teaching of Jesus in his earthly ministry as passed down ...
Jul 1, 2006 · Paul’s humility is most clearly seen in his own self-appraisal. Writing to the Corinthians in ad 55, he calls himself “the least of the apostles unworthy to be called an apostle because [he] persecuted the church of God (1 Cor. 15:9).
