This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

8. ὁ γὰρ. Justifying his assertion that he had received a commission as Peter had; God wrought for each.

ἐνεργήσας Πέτρῳ, “He that worked for Peter.”

So Pro 31:12 (Pro 31:31), ἐνεργεῖ γὰρ τῳ ἀνδρὶ ἀγαθὰ πάντα τὸν βίον. With dative only in this verse in the N.T. Cf. Gal 5:6 note.

εἰς ἀποστολὴν (Act 1:25; Rom 1:5; 1Co 9:2[75]), not only for the call to it, but also for its fulfilment.

[75] Is affixed to a word it means that all the passages are mentioned where that word occurs in the New Testament.

τῆς περιτομῆς. Genitive marking the sphere in which the apostleship was exercised. For euphony at the end of the verse, where there is no preceding εἰς, he reverts to the more natural εἰς with the accusative.
