How does the Apostle Paul demonstrate humility in his ministry?

Answered in 1 source

Paul demonstrates humility by preferring to speak of Christ rather than himself, often referring to his experiences in the third person.

In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul exemplifies humility through his reluctance to speak of himself directly. By stating 'I knew a man in Christ' instead of referencing his own experiences explicitly, he keeps the focus on God’s work in him. This reflects a heart posture that prioritizes glorifying Christ over self-promotion. Paul's humility is further shown in his defense of apostleship, where he explains his experiences not to boast but to combat false teachings. His example encourages believers to maintain humility in their own ministries, proclaiming Christ above all.
