Editing Paul the Apostle (section)

===Conjectured journey from Rome to Spain===
Among the writings of the early Christians, [[Pope Clement I]] said that Paul was "Herald (of the Gospel of Christ) in the West", and that "he had gone to the extremity of the west".<ref>[http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/1clement-lightfoot.html 1st Clement – Lightfoot translation] Early Christian Writings 1 Clem 5:5: "By reason of jealousy and strife Paul by his example pointed out the prize of patient endurance. After that he had been seven times in bonds, had been driven into exile, had been stoned, had preached in the East and in the West, he won the noble renown which was the reward of his faith, [5:6] having taught righteousness unto the whole world and having reached the farthest bounds of the West; and when he had borne his testimony before the rulers, so he departed from the world and went unto the holy place, having been found a notable pattern of patient endurance".</ref>

Where [[Joseph Lightfoot|Lightfoot]]'s translation has "had preached" below (in the "Church tradition" section), the Hoole translation has "having become a herald".<ref>See also the endnote (3) by [[Arthur Cleveland Coxe]] on the last page of [[s:Ante-Nicene Fathers/Volume I/CLEMENT OF ROME/First Epistle to the Corinthians/Chapter LIX.|wikisource 1st Clement]] regarding Paul's preaching in Britain.</ref> [[John Chrysostom]] indicated that Paul preached in Spain: "For after he had been in Rome, he returned to Spain, but whether he came thence again into these parts, we know not".<ref>[https://biblehub.com/commentaries/chrysostom/2_timothy/4.htm Chrysostom's Homilies on 2 Timothy], verse 4:20</ref> [[Cyril of Jerusalem]] said that Paul, "fully preached the Gospel, and instructed even imperial Rome, and carried the earnestness of his preaching as far as Spain, undergoing conflicts innumerable, and performing Signs and wonders".<ref>[[s:Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume VII/S.
