2 Corinthians 11:5 Context
3But I feare lest by any meanes, as the Serpent beguiled Eue through his subtilty, so your mindes should bee corrupted from the simplicitie that is in Christ. 4For if he that commeth preacheth another Iesus whome wee haue not preached, or if yee receiue another spirit, which ye haue not receiued, or another Gospel, which ye haue not accepted, yee might well beare with him. 5For, I suppose, I was not a whit behinde the very chiefest Apostles. 6But though I be rude in speach, yet not in knowledge; but we haue bene throughly made manifest among you in all things. 7Haue I committed an offence in abasing my selfe, that you might be exalted, because I haue preached to you the Gospel of God freely?

People's Bible Notes for 2 Corinthians 11:5
2Co 11:5 I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. The Greek implies that these men claimed to be apostles. Paul says he is not behind these "pre-eminent apostles" (Revised Version, margin)--a stroke of sarcasm.
