Paul's Gospel And The Resurrection Of Christ

8 Last of all, he appeared even to me, who am, as it were, the abortion. 9 For I am the meanest of the Apostles, I who am unworthy of the name of 'Apostle,' because I persecuted the Church of God. 10 But it is through the love of God that I am what I am, and the love that he showed me has not been wasted. No, I have toiled harder than any of them, and yet it was not I, but the love of God working with me.
