Paul did not separate

his persona from his ministry. For Paul's life and work coalesced 'in Christ.' His entire ministry, characterized as it was by hardship and suffering, was driven by the 'love of Christ' (2 Cor 5: 14), that is, by his sense of Christ's love for him expressed in his sacrificial death.
