1 Corinthians 15:9-10

9Among all the apostles, I am the least important. I caused so much trouble for God's church that people should not really call me an apostle.

10But God was very kind to me. He helped me to become a different person. And because God has been so kind to me, the result has been great. I have worked more than all the other apostles. But it was not really I myself who could do that work. No, I could do it because God was so kind to me.
