1 Corinthians 9:1
Paul Surrenders His Rights
1 Am I not free? Am I not an iapostle? jHave I not seen Jesus our Lord? kAre not you my workmanship in the Lord?
1 Corinthians 15:8–10
8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, ehe appeared also to me. 9 For fI am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I gpersecuted 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, I worked harder than any of them, hthough it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.
