Paul never envisioned having a say in the ruling powers of the Roman empire. There was no constitution, no bill of rights that protected him or anyone else's freedoms within its jurisdiction.

How do we related to those authorities we don't really belong to, that don't recognize our status as citizens and ambassadors for another Kingdom?
