In his time, the main purpose of the Apostle Paul was to make the Gospel of Jesus of Nazareth known to people with pagan background, to start the first Christian churches and to direct their growth in the new faith. The process is known as discipleship, these are the roots of our society and modern churches continue the work.
But Paul also had another very important duty, to receive direct orders from Jesus for us to carry on, let us know our new expected behaviors and teach us how to conduct ourselves in the new churches, so we could then obey them both, Jesus and Paul.
Scattered along throughout his Epistles, we have many pieces of this new chains of command, headed by Jesus Christ himself, direct orders from Jesus to church members, always explained in detail by Paul in relation to prophecies or any other relevant circumstance. The explanations Paul gave in his Epistles became the Christian doctrinal foundations in any way we may understand them in our days; that is an issue in some cases, yet in any case, it is History.
On the other hand, aside from doctrinal issues and matters of Faith, the orders Jesus Christ gave Paul for us to follow stand as written and we have to obey them, if we are to be approved Christians; the orders are from Jesus, not Paul and they are not optional in any way. In this book, I present the incumbent verses, grouped in 75 sets for us to watch and keep, in a document with full easy to use navigation support.
