The Roman Empire governed most of this country due to their sophisticated and advanced technology at the time, as well as their incredibly powerful and massive armed forces. Thanks to Roman engineering during the time, goods and people could be transported with ease. Sections of the columns used in the construction of the Temple of Artemis were rolled to the construction site in a spherical wooden framework. This allowed materials from far distant to be imported. The most important languages of the time were Latin, Greek, and Aramaic. Because St Paul frequently wrote letters that made up a large section of the Bible's New Testament, At the period, written communication was common among well-educated people.

Paul moved from advocating for Christians' stoning, execution, and imprisonment to becoming one himself. He was born into an affluent family and was educated both religiously and secularly. Saul was brought up as a devoted Jew who saw Christians as a threat to his faith's authority. Saul was converted while on his way to persecute Christians. "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" he said as he heard Jesus' voice. He was blinded by a brilliant light. Saul realised his actions were improper after that. He was baptised and given the name Paul as a result. Paul went on to preach the gospel and convert others to Christianity for the rest of his life. During his lifetime, he travelled 32187 kilometres across the Mediterranean, educating people about Christianity.

The towns he mentioned are readily visible on the map on the right. From the Syrian port of Seleucia in Antioch, St Paul and his companion Barnabas set out on their first mission. They then went to Cyprus, where they educated people in the island's synagogues about Christianity. They both travelled to Pamphylia and Antioch in Pisidia (near modern-day Turkey). Later, they worked at Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe as they travelled across Lycaonia. He talked so persuasively in Iconium that a large number of Jews and Gentiles believed what he was saying, and he healed a lame man in Lystra (Acts 14:1:24). They worked in Perga, travelled to Attalia, and then boarded a ship to return to Syrian Antioch through Pisidia and Pamphylia.

Through his letters, Paul stayed in touch with the early Christian communities, ensuring that they could continue to flourish. “For we know, Brothers and Sisters, that he has chosen you,” says the author. In his writings, he used loving words to remind people of the gift they had received in the person of Jesus Christ. Approximately 2000 years later, Paul's messages are still guiding us. Paul's letters helped Christians thrive by inspiring them to believe in Christianity.

A popular belief among Jewish Christians at the time was that a Gentile had to be circumcised in order to become a Christian. It was a sign of Abraham's and God's covenant, so it was significant. Paul, on the other hand, believed that the Gospel is for everyone and that faith in Jesus is not a legal necessity for salvation. As a result, he questioned even Peter, writing, "Through faith, there is no longer a Jew or a Greek..." Circumcision was a big cultural challenge in general because it emphasised the Gospel for everyone and developed Christianity into a universal religion.

In Philippians 2:1-5, Paul argues that being selfless and humble is vital to being a part of the Christian religion, as this is how Jesus lived. In today's world, this is still true, and it applies to everyone, especially the wealthy and powerful. This verse advises us to choose humility over pride in our greed-ridden world.
