From Paul, apostle of Christ, and Lucius the
brother,
To the listers: Peace.
Concerning the matter that Frank wrote
about:
<<2. Paul, did you really preach in
synagogues after the agreement of the Jerusalem
Conference?>>
Yes, I preached in synagogues. Luke will confirm
that it was always my practice to go first to the synagogue. In order to be
able to preach in synagogues I submitted myself to synagogue authority and
received the 39 lashes on five occasions. Also, I circumcised Timothy so that he
would not offend the synagogue Jews. I would not have done either of these
things if I did not preach in synagogues.
All my close fellow-workers are Jews.
Barnabas, Mark, Silvanus, Timothy (after his circumcision), Luke, and Sosthenes
are all Jews. Indeed, Sosthenes was the synagogue ruler, and that is why
I chose to add his authority to my letter to the Corinthians by including
him as the co-sender.
The Jerusalem apostles and I have a mutual respect
for each other. We respect each other's calling and preaching. All of us came to
the conclusion that my work would be most valuable among the Gentiles, while
their work would be most effective among the Jews. We never said that I would
not preach to any Jews or that they would not preach to any Gentiles.
Whatever gave you that idea?
Richard greets you.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you.
