Paul does NOT call on believers in various churches to receive Titus, Timothy, and other church leaders based on their authority as bishops or their having apostolic authority, but rather based upon their being fellow laborers with him (1 Corinthians 16:10; 16:16; 2 Corinthians 8:23).
Hindi ni Pablo sinabihan ang mga mananampalataya sa iba't ibang iglesya na tawagin sina Tito, Timoteo at iba pang mga lider ng iglesya sa kanilang awtoridad bilang obispo o sa pagkakaroon nila ng awtoridad bilang apostol, kundi ayon sa kanilang pagiging kapwa niya manggagawa (1 Corinto 16:10; 16:16; 2 Corinto 8:23).
