23 Are they ministers of Christ? I reply like a madman, I am more outstandingly one: I have done more work,+ been imprisoned more often,+ suffered countless beatings, and experienced many near-deaths.+

You compelled me to, for I ought to have been recommended by you.+ For I did not prove to be inferior to your superfine apostles in a single thing, even if I am nothing.+ 12 Indeed, the signs of an apostle were produced among you with great endurance,+ and by signs and wonders and powerful works.*+
