9:2a Even if I am not an apostle to others,

Even if others say I am not an apostle,
-or-
Some people do not think I am Christ’s messenger,

9:2b surely I am to you.

surely you (plur.) must accept me.
-or-
but you know that I am, for sure.

9:2c For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

For you (plur.) are like a seal which proves that I am an apostle of the Lord ⌊Jesus⌋.
-or-
The fact that you live in union with the Lord proves that I am his apostle.
-or-
The fact that you ⌊believe in⌋ the Lord shows that I am his messenger, ⌊because I am the one who told you about him⌋.
