9 For I am the least+ of the apostles, and I am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted+ the congregation of God.
6 Neither have we been seeking glory from men,+ no, either from YOU or from others, though we could be an expensive burden*+ as apostles of Christ.
3 neither as lording+ it over those who are God’s* inheritance,*+ but becoming examples to the flock.+
