A teacher of the Gentiles (διδάσκαλος ἐθνῶν)

Omit of the Gentiles. Comp. 1Ti 2:7, from which the words were probably transferred when the three Epistles were jointly edited. Paul calls himself an apostle, and describes himself as preaching (κηρύσσων); but he nowhere calls himself διδάσκαλος a teacher, although he uses διδάσκειν to teach, of himself, 1Co 4:17; Col 1:28. He also uses διδαχή teaching, of matter given by him to the converts, Rom 6:17; Rom 16:17; 1Co 14:6. He distinguishes between the apostle and the teacher, 1Co 12:28; Eph 4:11.
