Faith, hope and charity. These virtues that if we possess we become complete, as compared to just in part.

Paul was not an actor, or a philosopher, but an Apostle of the Risen Christ. Pretty heady stuff, but he was chosen and not self-appointed as many will do. For his knowledge of scripture and zeal for God surpassed all of his contempories of that day, and even though he persecuted this way even to consenting to the stoning of Stephen, he was accepted into the small fraternity of Apostles. God needed him to teach in his special way for all of our edification and understanding down through these generations.
