Poltroon
A poltroon is a wretched coward; craven.
Paul claimed that the Corinthians thought him a poltroon when present but found him bold when writing from a distance.
Now I, Paul, myself urge you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--I who am meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent! (II Corinthians 10:1, NASB)
Like many well published preachers, Paul faced the criticism that people would rather read him than hear him.
