" . . . As I teach everywhere in every church."
Paul was consistent in his preaching, teaching, and instruction. All the churches everywhere--be they in Ephesus, Colosse, Thessalonica, Corinth, Rome, or elsewhere--received uniform doctrine. This was particularly true of the critically-important article of justification: that sinners are saved by grace through faith alone.
The individual churches had particular (and unique) challenges, and Paul's letters reflect his concern about these. But still, *every* church in his day, and ours, is to preach and teach certain things: foremost among them being the sufficiency and atonement of Christ.
[Puritan quote of the day: "[God] rewards His subjects in this life. He gives them inward peace and joy; a bunch of grapes by the way; and oft-times riches and honor." --Thomas Watson, in "A Body of Divinity"]
