Concern for the Corinthian Church
11 (A)I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was (B)not at all inferior to these super-apostles, (C)even though I am nothing.

1 Corinthians 15:8-10
English Standard Version
8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, (A)he appeared also to me. 9 For (B)I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because (C)I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, (D)I worked harder than any of them, (E)though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.

Galatians 2:6-14
English Standard Version
6 And from those (A)who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; (B)God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential (C)added nothing to me. 7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been (D)entrusted with (E)the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised 8 (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), 9 and when James and Cephas and John, (F)who seemed to be (G)pillars, perceived the (H)grace that was given to me, they (I)gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, (J)the very thing I was eager to do.
Paul Opposes Peter
11 But (K)when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him (L)to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, (M)he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing (N)the circumcision party.[a] 13 And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that their (O)conduct was not in step with (P)the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas (Q)before them all, “If you, though a Jew, (R)live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

Paul's Sufferings as an Apostle
16 I repeat, (A)let no one think me foolish. But even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little. 17 What I am saying (B)with this boastful confidence, (C)I say not as the Lord would[a] but as a fool.

4 For (A)when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” (B)are you not being merely human?
5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? (C)Servants through whom you believed, (D)as the Lord assigned to each. 6 (E)I planted, (F)Apollos watered, (G)but God gave the growth. 7 So (H)neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
