Apocalypse of John on Ephesus on "those who call themselves apostles but are not" may be a negative reference to Paul.
Among those who consider Apocalypse anti-Paul are T. Morgan, F.C. Baur, A. Hilgenfeld, G. Volkmar, D. Völter, and K. Kohler (and maybe G. Luedemann). Bibliography in my
"Essene Polemic in the Apocalypse of John," Legal Texts and Legal Issues, Joseph M. Baumgarten FS, STDJ 23, Brill, 1997, page 457.
