Paul was both abrasive at times and compassionate. It goes with being a spiritual leader. He preached the truth in love, but there were also times when he had to rebuke and correct. Undergirding all that Paul did however was his awareness of the call of God and his desire to please God rather than man.
I find it amazing that Paul was so open minded to all that God was doing through him. When you realize he was a Jew called to minister to the Gentiles, the traditional thinking he would have had to overcome to carry out his mission would have been enormous.
