You have rent the Christ in pieces! Was it Paul who was crucified for you? or were you baptized into the Faith of Paul?

But it weighs very little with me that I am judged by you or by any human tribunal. No, I do not even judge myself;

This is my reason for sending Timothy to you. He is my own dear faithful child in the Master's service, and he will remind you of my methods of teaching the Faith of Christ Jesus-methods which I follow everywhere in every Church.
