As a former persecutor of Christians, Paul never forgot that it was only by undeserved kindness that he could have a relationship with God at all, much less enjoy special privileges of service.
Endise kristlaste tagakiusajana ei unustanud Paulus kunagi, et vaid tänu Jumala armule on tal võimalik temaga heades suhetes olla, rääkimata veel erilistest teenistuseesõigustest.
