3:1-3 Paul’s ministry was validated by the lives of those who were changed by the Good News rather than by a letter of recommendation (cp. Acts 18:27). Christ, the author of this transformation, used Paul to lead believers to him. The marks of genuineness are not in letters written . . . with pen and ink on parchment, but in the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23) in human lives and carved . . . on human hearts.
