1 Corinthians 15:10

10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, aI worked harder than any of them, bthough it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.

2 Corinthians 12:11-12

Concern for the Corinthian Church

11 cI have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was dnot at all inferior to these super-apostles, eeven though I am nothing. 12 fThe signs of a true apostle were performed among you gwith utmost patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works.

Galatians 2:6-9

6And from those hwho seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; iGod shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential jadded nothing to me. 7On the contrary, when they saw that I had been kentrusted with lthe 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), 9and when James and Cephas and John, mwho seemed to be npillars, perceived the ograce that was given to me, they pgave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
