This study claims that Paul uses his personal example as an
explicit literary strategy in 1 Corinthians, Galatians and
Philippians, and as an arguably implicit strategy in 1
Thessalonians and Philemon. He uses his own example to ground and
illustrate his argumentation in a rhetorically sophisticated
manner, often structuring his argument on such a basis. In places a
crisp statement of his own case serves as a thesis statement of the
argument that follows (e.g., Rom. 1.17; Gal. 1.10), while at other
times it serves to summarize the argument and to provide a
transition to the next phase (especially in 1 Corinthians and Gal.
2.15-21). All the while Paul's self-portrayals in his letters serve
not autobiographical or egoistic purposes but pedagogical and
argumentative aims.
