For which I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

AD 407

Be not therefore dismayed at my sufferings. The sinews of death are unstrung. It is not as a malefactor that I suffer, but because I am a teacher of the Gentiles. At the same time he makes his discourse worthy of credit.
