I appreciate this depiction.
We have little for certain to tell us of Paul’s physical appearance. Yet, from Scripture, I see him as a dear, loving, firm, likely a bit irritating from time to time, counselor, and a dearly loved friend/brother to the early Body of CHRIST.
Let me clarify, irritating because in his presence there was a sense of YESHUA so strong it brought conviction to the erring, and equally consoling comfort to the persecuted.
What do you see?
We get to do this you know, be astonished, I mean every day as we see Him, and hear Him on the Pages of His Word.

Since we are here, since we go to work, since we go to stores, since we go out to eat, since we go out among the people – preach!
Holy hugs, Kathie
Because we are free to. Salvation frees us to live – sensibly, rightly, godly in this present age!
Holy hugs, Kathie
A read in context lets us know the brothers (and sisters) not in darkness are not all the peoples of the earth, but only those who have been delivered from darkness to Light.
And then we read: But since.
Isn’t that great?!
Since we have been delivered to the Light, we can be sober, we can put on the breastplate of faith and love with the hope of our salvation, and walk in the Light amid great darkness around us.Â
But since we have this Light, let us be mindful of those around us still walking in darkness, and present ourselves daily to JESUS, asking Him to make us useful to Him for them.
