1 Corinthians 15:9

9 All the other apostles are greater than I am. I am not even good enough to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

1 Corinthians 15:9 In-Context

7 Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles.
8 Last of all he was seen by me -- as by a person not born at the normal time.
9 All the other apostles are greater than I am. I am not even good enough to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But God's grace has made me what I am, and his grace to me was not wasted. I worked harder than all the other apostles. (But it was not I really; it was God's grace that was with me.)
11 So if I preached to you or the other apostles preached to you, we all preach the same thing, and this is what you believed.
