Second letter to the Corinthians 10:10

He [probably referring to the leader of the opposition to Paul in Corinth] says,
"His letters are weighty and powerful [see 2 Cor. 7:8],
but when he comes in person, he is weak (his physical appearance and presentation are not impressive)
and people despise his words."
[There are extra-biblical sources from the 200s that describe Paul as short, bald, with large eyebrows. However, we cannot know what he looked like. In comparing Paul and Barnabas, it can be interpreted that Barnabas was more appealing, as he was likened to Zeus, the greatest god, and that Paul was his spokesman, see Acts 14:8–12. In ancient rhetoric, attractive appearance was considered as important as speech. The Greek-Roman Stoic philosopher Epictetus writes about this in "The Art of Living" around 125 AD.]
