- 1Why Paul calls himself an Apostle.Why Paul cals himself an Apostle.
The word Apostle is sometimes used more largely for one that is sent; and 1so in an eminent manner is applied to Christ himself, Heb. 3. 1. Yea, some say, it's used generally for any Messenger; and they instance in Phil. 2. 25. where Epaphreditus is said to be the Philippians messenger, [Greek or Hebrew]; and so it seemeth by the Translation, our Translators understood it; but Salmasius doth vehemently contend, pleading also the consent of the Ancients, that it's to be understood of an Apostle, and that Paul never useth the word, but of eminent and chief Officers in the Church, so that he is called the Philippians Apostle, because he was a special fellow-labourer with Paul, in planting of that Church. 2
