1 Corinthians 9:1

Paul Surrenders His Rights

1 aAm I not free? bAm I not an apostle? cHave I not seen Jesus our Lord? dAre not you my workmanship in the Lord?

2 Corinthians 12:11

Concern for the Corinthian Church

Galatians 1:11-13

Paul Called by God

11For tI would have you know, brothers, that uthe gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel.
Greek not according to man
12 wFor I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it xthrough a revelation of Jesus Christ. 13For you have heard of ymy former life in Judaism, how zI persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it.

Galatians 2:5-9

5to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that aathe truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. 6And from those abwho seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; acGod shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential adadded nothing to me. 7On the contrary, when they saw that I had been aeentrusted with afthe 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, agwho seemed to be ahpillars, perceived the aigrace that was given to me, they ajgave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

1 John 4:6

6We are from God. akWhoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know althe Spirit of truth and amthe spirit of error.
