“If only Paul had been accorded a few amenities in his life – freedom from imprisonment, for example – he could have … and would have done so very much more,” you say?

He would have … because he could have … healed and restored thousands more.

He would have done everything conceivable, except, perhaps, to write half of the New Testament.
