I'm suspicious of Paul to be honest.
Lowkey I think he just rode the wave of Jesus to gain glory..which is why he complains of his trials and tribulations all the time.
Peter isn't complaining about suffering..because its what is expected of a Christian a follower of JESUS.
I believe PAUL said the right things so he could have control and status..as he saw that CHRISTIANITY was going to be the next big... "THING"
HE WAS A PHARISEE so he knew scripture which explains why some of this letters be having some stuff that makes you go
.
