When I would talk to her about this, she would say, "That's just the way I am. I say things as I see them." Do you think Paul would agree with her?

If you want to persuade people, you do not start by insulting them.)
Cuando yo le hablaba de esto ella decía, Así es como soy yo. Digo las cosas como las veo. ¿Crees que Pablo estaría de acuerdo con ella? (Pablo dice varias cosas positivas sobre los romanos. El les dice que ellos son amados por Dios, el los llama santos y los elogia por su fe.
