Paul, when writing about work and the Gospel he preached, does not give a systematic lecture on this topic, however he recognizes their close relationship. Above all, he sees in work the source of livelihood. He decisively follows the norms elaborated in Judaism, not in the Greek world. Work is not an insult to a human being or a chore, at best, but it is a noble occupation that gives maintenance. The Apostle himself assumes this attitude (1 Cor 4:11-12). He is not the only example of preacher, who works with his own hands to maintain himself. Another one is Barnabas (1 Cor 9:6). He also encourages the faithful to have such an attitude (2 Thess 3:7-8). The Apostle, however, combines employment with the proclamation of the Gospel (1 Thess 2:9). The absolute priority in his missionary activity is to proclaim the Good News, which is called the work of God. The closest associates of the Apostle are also involved in the transmission of the message (1 Cor 16,10), and it is they who contribute to making the soil of Church fertile. The content of the Christian life is a practical application of the adopted Gospel, that is, doing good (Rom 2:10). As a specific example of his sorrow (2 Cor 7:10) Paul shows how such a condition can lead to conversion, which is the fruit of the adopted Gospel. Another result of the adoption and the new man creation is the avoidance of sins (Eph. 4.28 ). However, it is not the reason for boasting, because everything has to be done from the heart, as for the Lord (Col 3:23-24 ). The encouragement to work with your own hands still remains valid (1 Thess 4:11), because it stems from the faith in Jesus Christ. However, there is always a danger of abandoning work for various reasons and dealing with unnecessary things (2 Thess 3:11-12). Therefore, it is crucial to follow continuously the attitudes of our teachers of faith.

Jezus, przebywając na pustyni, pości przez czterdzieści dni i nocy, a od swoich wyznawców oczekuje, aby w czasie postu zachowali radość. Szczególnym momentem dla nich będzie ten czas, gdy „pana młodego” – Jezusa – nie będzie z nimi. W pierwotnym zaś Kościele praktyka postu stała się swoistym narzędziem przygotowania do podejmowania decyzji ważnych dla Kościoła. Za tą postawą chrześcijanina naznaczoną postem stało pragnienie zyskania jasności umysłu i serca, które charakteryzują człowieka dojrzałego i gotowego do służby wspólnocie, a zatem zdrowego, odpowiedzialnego i pełnego mądrości stylu życia.

Jesus, fasting in the desert, fasts for forty days and nights, and expects of his followers to keep their joy during fasting. A special moment for them will be the time when “bridegroom” – Jesus will not be with them. In the Church of the first centuries, the practice of fasting became a specific tool for preparing decisions important for the Church. Behind this attitude of a Christian marked by fasting, he has become a desire to gain clarity of mind and heart that characterizes a mature and ready-to-serve community, and therefore a healthy, responsible and full of wisdom lifestyle.

W Rz 8, Paweł używa terminu to pneuma bez dodatkowych określeń. Badania pokazują, że Duch to osoba odmienna od Boga Ojca i Chrystusa, zarówno w działaniu, jak i istnieniu. Jest to szczególnie widoczne w 8,33-34, gdzie wstawiennictwo Chrystusa z woli Boga Ojca jest przedstawione analogicznie do wstawiennictwa Ducha, o którym była mowa w 8,26. Duch podejmuje działanie w Osobach Trójcy Świętej. En pneuma Theou (8,9) wskazuje, że ziemskie życie chrześcijan pozostaje pod działaniem Ducha Bożego, kata pneuma zaś oznacza bycie, życie, przebywanie w Duchu Świętym, a to pozwala wierzącemu znaleźć usprawiedliwienie, ono jednak dokonuje się przez wiarę w Chrystusa. Tak Żydzi, jak i Grecy potrzebują działania Boga w Duchu Świętym (en pneumati hagiō(i)). Uczestnictwo w królestwie Boga przynosi pokój i radość także en pneumati hagiō(i). Przez Ducha Świętego (dia pneumatos hagiou) Boża miłość została na nas wylana. Chrześcijanie są wolni od strachu przed śmiercią i niewolą. Odradzająca się dynamika Ducha pozwala na pierwszeństwo Bożego synostwa. Wreszcie Paweł idzie o krok dalej i podkreśla, że Duch współpracuje z chrześcijanami, jeśli tylko rozpoznają i utrzymują szczególną relację z Bogiem w modlitwie (8,15-16).

In Rom 8, Paul uses the term to pneuma, without additional terms. Research shows that this refers to a person different from God the Father and Christ, both in action and in existence, as a person. This is especially evident in 8:33-34, where the intercession of Christ through the will of God the Father is presented by analogy to the intercession of the Spirit, about which Paul wrote in 8:26. The Spirit manifests activity in the Persons of the Holy Trinity. The phrase en pneuma Theou (8:9) indicates that the earthly life of Christians remains under the authority of God’s Spirit. The construction kata pneuma means being, living, abiding in the Holy Spirit, which enables the believer to justify himself, though this comes about only by faith in Jesus Christ. Both Jews and Greeks need God’s radical action in the Holy Spirit (en pneumati hagiō (i)). Participation in the kingdom of God brings peace and joy also en pneumati hagiō (i). Through the Holy Spirit (dia pneumatos hagiou), God’s love was poured out on us. Christians, who are animated by the Spirit, can no longer accept the attitude of slaves, because the Spirit has released them and keeps them in this state of freedom (see 2 Cor 3:17). So Christians are free from fear of death and from fear of slavery. The reviving dynamics of the Spirit make possible the primacy of divine sonship. Finally, Paul goes a step further and emphasizes that the Spirit cooperates with Christians if they recognize and adhere to this special relationship with God in prayer (8:15-16).

St. Paul in his Letter to the Galatians does not criticise all the stipulations of Law. He pays attention only to the works required by the Law and rejects them as insufficient for the proper education of the Christians. Considering this insufficiency of the Law, St. Paul claims that it was based on inheritance and not on the promise given to Abraham (3:16). The Law was limited and served as an educator (3:24-25). So, the purpose and the way of education is the Gospel of Christ (1:6-9) which the Apostle received directly from the Resurrected (1:12) and then presented to the most influential people in Jerusalem, thus acquiring their acceptance (2:1-2). Incarnation of the Son of God (4:4-5), crucifixion and death of Jesus (2:19-21, 3:1, 6:14) and the descent of the Holy Spirit (4:6) are the three essential elements of Paul’s Gospel. Another crucial constituent of education according to the Letter to the Galatians is faith (2:16), and more precisely, the obedience of faith (3:1-5), which in no case can be connected with the stipulations of Law.
