Paul didn’t do the work, but grace worked in Paul to do the works.
It was NOT Paul who worked, but grace was working in Paul doing the works.

“by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.” ~ 1 Corinthians 15:10 Apostle Paul said grace did the works. It was NOT Paul who worked, but grace was working in Paul doing the works and teaching the truth.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:10
Apostle Paul said grace did the works. It was NOT Paul who worked, but grace was working in Paul doing the works and teaching the truth. You don’t do the works. Grace says God’s words and does God’s works through you. You yield. You submit yourself under the hand of God.
Don’t Get the Works Before the Grace
You can get mixed up with works. So-called “works of piety” can be works I decide to do instead of works God leads me to and does through me. My works can be against God’s will. Some people say, “I’m going to do this for God,” but God never asked them to do it. Some people say, “I’m going to do random acts of kindness,” but God’s works are never random. Some people say, “I’m going to pay it forward,” but my righteousness is like some filthy rags to God. Fake “works of piety” can be a way I feed my pride and get recognition. Fake “works of piety” are just one more way to do what I want to do instead of doing what God wants me to do.
