Chapter 10 1-4
Paul laments the loss of Israel to it's traditions and strict observances to the law. He basically says they simply do not understand that following the law no longer produces righteousness.
5-10 Paul uses a series of OT quotations to explain the reasons why their desire to continue to tow the line rather than seek atonement.
11-13 Paul expresses the unity between all believers in that we are all the same under the grace of God. that no one is 'better' than anyone else.
14&15 is a call to evangelize
16-21 Explains that even if we share the Gospel not everyone will accept it and obey God.
Just read this
http://www.jesuswordsonly.com/books/188-...-paul.html
there are other sources and places on the internet that even the basis of this explaining why Paul is not a apostle.
So... In your "mind" this web site has more to say about the validation of Paul, than Peter's own words Vetting Paul and His letters to his churches?

14 Dear friends, we are waiting for this to happen. So try as hard as you can to be without sin and without fault. Try to be at peace with God. 15 Remember that we are saved because our Lord is patient. Our dear brother Paul told you that same thing when he wrote to you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 That’s what he says in all his letters when he writes about these things. There are parts of his letters that are hard to understand, and some people give a wrong meaning to them. These people are ignorant and weak in faith. They also give wrong meanings to the other Scriptures. But they are destroying themselves by doing that.
