PL
The so-called “Paul’s boast” is an exceptional part of the literary activity of St. Paul. It allows us to look first at the Apostle as a man who suffers, who is sensitive, full of kindness and love. At the same time, it allows us – and this is important – to look at a man totally united with Christ. For such a man the only value is Christ and everythimg that is included within the salutary province of Christ. He-Christ became the “only Lord” for Paul.
