   The epistle is quoted twice as proof and referenced precisely in two footnotes, making it a cited authority.

   and the matter is not of this description, for we see that after the fortieth year the bodily powers (*quwā*) weaken while the powers of the soul revive, together with the greatness of apprehension (*idrāk*) and the perfection of the intellect (*ʻaql*).

   Content matches Pauline second epistle, introduced with Apostle's authority.

   And if that man, who reached as far as the third heaven and heard unspeakable words, uttered such words, who of those like me could at all look in the face the abysses of so many mysteries, and say anything to the purpose, or be able to conceive worthily of the things spoken, unless the giver of wisdom himself, the corrector of the unwise, should grant it?

   The third heaven is explicitly tied to 'your apostle', deferring to Paul's own account for later scrutiny.

   After these things, or before these, when you have said that he too has his own creation and his own world and his own heaven — concerning that third heaven indeed we shall see, if we come also to the examination of your apostle — meanwhile, whatever substance it is, it ought certainly to have appeared together with its own god.

   Both passages are explicitly quoted from Paul's letter to the Corinthians and interpreted at length.

   "For we know," he says, "that even if the earthly house of this our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens" — that is, through this, that our flesh shall be dissolved through sufferings, we are to attain a dwelling in the heavens.

   The letter whose ambiguous forgiveness passage is the crux of the dispute.

   For in truth they suspect that the Apostle Paul, in the second to the Corinthians, gave pardon to that same fornicator whom in the first he had pronounced should be handed over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh — the impious heir of his father's marriage-bed — as though he had even afterward turned his pen, writing:

8. De Fuga in Persecutione Tertullian 1 authority 1 citation

   de fuga in persecutione

   Directly references and paraphrases Paul's account of the 'thorn'/'stake' given by an angel of Satan.

   or, for the cause of restraint, as the Apostle relates that there was given him "a stake, an angel of Satan, to buffet him"—and not even this kind is permitted to the devil against the saints to humble them through the vexation of the flesh, except at the same time that the virtue of endurance too may be perfected in infirmity.

9. De ieiunio adversus psychicos Tertullian 1 authority 1 citation

   ch. 1

   Paul's second epistle to the Corinthians is directly cited as source for his account of frequent fasting.

   And I think the Apostle too in the second to the Corinthians, among his labours and perils and discomforts, after hunger and thirst, reckons "many fastings" as well.

10. Scorpiace Tertullian 1 authority 1 citation

    scorpiace

    Paul's catalogue of afflictions to the Corinthians is quoted as direct evidence of apostolic suffering.

    But Paul the apostle, of a persecutor — who first shed the blood of the Church — afterwards changing the sword for the pen and turning the falchion into a ploughshare, "a ravening wolf of Benjamin," thereafter himself bringing food, according to Jacob — how does he commend martyrdoms as now even to be desired by himself!
