1 Corinthians 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Study Note
Paul's self-description — 'by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me' — models a theology of grace and effort that refuses both passivity ('grace means I don't need to work') and self-reliance ('I have achieved this myself'). The paradox is deliberately maintained: 'I worked... it was not I' — genuine human agency and divine empowering are not opposed but identical. This verse has been foundational for the Augustinian-Thomist tradition on operative and cooperative grace, and for Reformed discussions of sanctification as simultaneously God's work and the believer's effort. The context (listing the resurrection appearances, verse 5-10) makes the grace in view specifically the grace of apostolic calling despite being 'the least of the apostles.'
