Paul’s Concern for the Corinthians
11 I have made a fool of myself,(A) but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to the “super-apostles,”[a](B) even though I am nothing.(C)

8 and last of all he appeared to me also,(A) as to one abnormally born.
9 For I am the least of the apostles(B) and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted(C) the church of God.(D) 10 But by the grace(E) of God I am what I am, and his grace to me(F) was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them(G)—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.(H)

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

New International Version
6 As for those who were held in high esteem(A)—whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism(B)—they added nothing to my message.(C) 7 On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task(D) of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised,[a](E) just as Peter(F) had been to the circumcised.[b] 8 For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle(G) to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle(H) to the Gentiles. 9 James,(I) Cephas[c](J) and John, those esteemed as pillars,(K) gave me and Barnabas(L) the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me.(M) They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles,(N) and they to the circumcised. 10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor,(O) the very thing I had been eager to do all along.
Paul Opposes Cephas
11 When Cephas(P) came to Antioch,(Q) I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James,(R) he used to eat with the Gentiles.(S) But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.(T) 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas(U) was led astray.
14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel,(V) I said to Cephas(W) in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew.(X) How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?(Y)

Galatians 2:6-14
King James Version
6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

Paul Boasts About His Sufferings
16 I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool.(A) But if you do, then tolerate me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting. 17 In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would,(B) but as a fool.(C)

17 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

1 Corinthians 3:4-7
New International Version
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,”(A) are you not mere human beings?
5 What, after all, is Apollos?(B) And what is Paul? Only servants,(C) through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6 I planted the seed,(D) Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

King James Version
1 Corinthians 3:4-7
King James Version
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
