2 Corinthians 10-13. Amplified Bible. Paul Describes Himself. 10 Now I, Paul, urge you by the gentleness and graciousness of Christ—I who am meek [so they say] when with you face to face, but bold [outspoken and fearless] toward you when absent! 2 I ask that when I do come I will not be driven to the boldness that I intend to show toward ...
Feb 23, 2022 · Paul was a sinner first, and the sinner that he was shaped the apostle that he was to become. Paul stated that he was blameless with respect “to the righteousness which is in the law,” but that zealousness made him a persecutor of the church (Phil 3:4-6, Gal 1:13-14).
