This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles (mēden husterēkenai tōn huperlian apostolōn). Perfect active infinitive of hustereō, old verb to fall short with the ablative case. The rare compound adverb huperlian (possibly in use in the vernacular) is probably ironical also, “the super apostles” as these Judaizers set themselves up to be. “The extra-super apostles” (Farrar). Also in 2Co 12:11. He is not referring to the pillar-apostles of Gal 2:9.
