By the will of God
Paul was chosen by the risen Christ to be an apostle. Sure, Jesus is God, but Paul says he was chosen by the will of God, which refers to the invisible Father.
How would he know that the Father chose him?
Just as Jesus has confirmation of the Spirit and the Father at his baptism, Paul has confirmation from Jesus and the Father. Obediah 1:1 appears to be a prophecy of both Paul and Christ.
