Paul - or his transcribers - was a right mean bastard when it came to his supposed faith and his correspondence.
People throughout history like to cherrypick those damn letters to the Cornithians and Thessalonians, but when reading in both entirety and context, it's pretty obvious that for the most part he's discussing discipline or "works" in his worship of Jesus, not in the day to day real world.
As the old saying goes "the Devil can quote scripture". And Egos in search of causes love to listen to the Devil when scripture is quoted.
