What does the Bible say about Paul's authority?

Answered in 1 source

Paul's authority is not from men but is given by God through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

In Galatians 1:11-17, Paul emphasizes that the gospel he preaches is not derived from human sources, highlighting the divine origin of his authority. He clarifies that his teaching was received directly from Christ, which authenticates his message against those who tried to undermine it. Paul’s authority is critical because a questioned messenger leads to a questioned message, thus necessitating his defense of the gospel’s divine origin.
