聖保祿培育當地教友

聖保祿到某地時，他沒有當個匆匆過客只做單場演講，他反而留下並培育當地教友，直到他們的理智認同了、被說服了，並且皈依基督、與基督結合，開始度全面的基督徒生活。聖保祿不會離開，除非他確信自己已盡力完成培育了。(APim, 227)

When he arrived, he did not appear just for an occasional conference, but he stayed and formed: to get the consent of minds, to persuade, convert, unite to Christ, launch a fully Christian life. He did not leave unless he was morally certain of the perseverance of his own (APim, 227).
