我們勤讀聖保祿的書信，就能清楚明白他的想法：他的論證和他所寫的每一句話，都是符合基督的；亦即把福音的神聖教導應用在生活和所處的環境中。 If we read the Letters of St. Paul we understand well what was his thinking: his reasoning, and every word he wrote, was conformed to Christ; it was an application of the divine doctrine of the Gospel to life, to circumstances (AP 1958/1, p.175).
聖保祿擅長組織及福傳。他傳教旅程結束後，在所經過的地方建立了監督和長老（主教和司鐸）——神聖牧者們的組織架構的雛形。 Saint Paul was a powerful organizer of good and the apostolate. He established a magnificent network of bishops and priests in the places of his missions at the end of his journeys: a network of holy pastors (APim, p. 29).
必須捨棄一切——想法、喜好、傾向、處事的方式等等，得以獲取新的心、新的思想和新的處事方式……。在此，成功的典範有瑪利亞、耶穌和聖保祿。 You have to give up everything: your way of thinking, the preferences you had, the trends and then the ways of dealing; you have to have a new heart, a new mind and a new way of working.... And the examples are there: Mary, Jesus, Saint Paul (AP 1960, p. 98).
