1 Corinthians 9:1-2

1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord ? Are you not my work in the Lord ?

2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord .

1 Corinthians 15:8-10

8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.

9 For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

2 Corinthians 12:11-12

11 I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody.

12 The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.

1 Timothy 2:7

7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying ) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
