Anyone who had encountered Jesus and was commissioned personally by Him (Acts 9:2-8) would, in his natural state, become “puffed up.” Add to that the fact that Paul was moved by the Holy Spirit to write much of the New Testament, and it is easy to see how Paul could become “haughty” (KJV) or “exalted above measure” (NKJV) or “too proud” (NCV).
Mtu yeyote ambaye alikutana na Yesu na aliongelezwa na kupewa kibali cha cheo naye (Matendo 9: 2-8) ingekuwa, katika hali yake ya asili, kuwa "wenye kujivuna."ongeza kwa hilo ukweli kwamba kuwa ukiongozwa na Roho Mtakatifu kuandika mengi ya Agano Jipya, na ni rahisi kuona jinsi Paulo angeweza kuwa " mwenye kiburi" (KJV) au "kusifiwa kupita kiwango" (NKJV) au "mwenye majivuno mno " (NCV).
