For I reckon that I am in no respect behind the most eminent apostles.

And He hath said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you; for My power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

I have become foolish; ye compelled me; for I ought to be commended by you; for in nothing was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even if I am nothing.

And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I to be loved the less?
