The main message in his preaching was to spread the message about Jesus and Christianity. ]]> 2016-11-22 05:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/20josel/the_world_of_st_paul/wish/139260143 1.

Respect to others can be used in everyday life by using manners, opening doors elderly people, listen in class and not to talk, etc. These are all ways to respect others and St Paul showed this value in his life. 2 If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, 2 make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. 5 Let the same mind be in you that was[a] in Christ Jesus. ]]> 2016-11-22 06:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/20josel/the_world_of_st_paul/wish/139263329 20josel https://padlet.com/20josel/the_world_of_st_paul/wish/139263851 2016-11-22 06:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/20josel/the_world_of_st_paul/wish/139263851 20josel https://padlet.com/20josel/the_world_of_st_paul/wish/139264146 2016-11-22 06:50:33 UTC https://padlet.com/20josel/the_world_of_st_paul/wish/139264146
