För hans brev, säger man, har tyngd och kraft, men då han personligen är närvarande är han svag, och det han säger föraktas.
SKB
Han [syftar troligen på den som ledde motståndet mot Paulus i Korint] säger: ”Hans brev har tyngd och kraft [se 2 Kor 7:8], men när han kommer själv är han svag (hans fysiska utseende och framförande imponerar inte) och man föraktar hans ord.” [Det finns utombibliska källor från 200-talet som beskriver Paulus som kortväxt, flintskallig med stora ögonbryn. Vi kan dock inte veta hur han såg ut. I jämförelse mellan Paulus och Barnabas kan det tolkas som att Barnabas var mer tilltalande, eftersom han liknades vid Zeus, den störste guden, och att Paulus var hans talesman, se Apg 14:8-12. Inom antika talkonsten ansågs ett attraktivt utseende lika viktigt som talet. Den grekisk-romerska stoiska filosofen Epiktetos skriver om detta i ”Handbok i livets konst” omkring 125 e.Kr.]
