Because the liberating effects of his message caused much unintended immorality and uncertainty among his gentile converts, many of whom promptly gave up their jobs and other commitments in expectation of the imminent [[Last Days]], Paul wrote many letters to his various 'churches' expounding on the gospel of grace and on a wide variety of subjects, including the essential [[kerygma]] or preaching thrust of what was to become [[Christianity]]. He was also wrote on ''agape'', or universal, unconditional compassion, as referred to at 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. Thirteen of these letters were subsequently incorporated into the [[New Testament]]: [[Epistle to the Romans|Romans]], [[I Corinthians]], [[II Corinthians]], [[Galatians]], [[Ephesians]], [[Philippians]], [[Colossians]], [[I Thessalonians]], [[II Thessalonians]], [[I Timothy]], [[II Timothy]], Titus and [[Philemon]].

"Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them - though it was not I but the grace of God that is with me." - Apostle Paul, the hardest working apostle of Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 15: 8-10 (NRSV)
