Anglicized Titles

When Paul, Peter, John, etc. were referred to (or referred to
themselves) as apostles, was the term used as a title in the same way we
use it today, or was the emphasis on the function the term implies (or
perhaps both)? In other words, was Paul thought of as the "Apostle
Paul," or "Paul the Delegate" (or "Sent One")? This same question applies
to angels and deacons.
