I do not think I am in the least inferior to those“ super- apostles.”

I don’t think I’m in any way less important than those“ super- apostles.”

Indeed, I consider that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.

Now I consider myself in no way inferior to those“ super-apostles.”

For I consider myself not in the least inferior to the most eminent apostles.

For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles.

For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.

Now I consider myself in no way inferior to the“ super-apostles.”

For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.

You have made me act like a fool. You ought to be writing commendations for me, for I am not at all inferior to these“ super apostles,” even though I am nothing at all.When I was with you, I certainly gave you proof that I am an apostle. For I patiently did many signs and wonders and miracles among you.

And the leaders of the church had nothing to add to what I was preaching.( By the way, their reputation as great leaders made no difference to me, for God has no favorites.)Instead, they saw that God had given me the responsibility of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, just as he had given Peter the responsibility of preaching to the Jews.For the same God who worked through Peter as the apostle to the Jews also worked through me as the apostle to the Gentiles.In fact, James, Peter, and John, who were known as pillars of the church, recognized the gift God had given me, and they accepted Barnabas and me as their co workers. They encouraged us to keep preaching to the Gentiles, while they continued their work with the Jews.

But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me— and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.
