1 Corinthians 15:9

MSG

NIV

9 It was fitting that I bring up the rear. I don't deserve to be included in that inner circle, as you well know, having spent all those early years trying my best to stamp God's church right out of existence.
9 For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
