1 " Lo que es particularmente interesante acerca de la determinación de Pablo de tener el solo propósito de predicar el evangelio no diluido es su admisión inmediata de que luchaba con los mismos sentimientos de aprensión e intimidación que todos nosotros experimentamos ante nuestro deber de proclamar el evangelio.

It is meaningless to expound on grace to someone who does not know the divine demand for righteousness. Those who do not even sense their own guilt cannot possibly comprehend God's mercy. You cannot preach a gospel of grace to someone who has not heard that God requires obedience and punishes disobedience. "
