1 Corinthians 15:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ All the other apostles are greater than I am. This is because I persecuted the church of God. And this is why I am not even good enough to be called an apostle. 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 I was not really the one working. It was God’s grace that was with me.) ¹¹ So then it is not important if I preached to you or if the other apostles preached to you. We all preach the same thing, and this is what you believed.
