Paul nor any of the writers of scripture were infallible. It is the Holy Spirit who is infallible and who's words the apostles and prophets wrote.

2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2 Timothy 3:16 every Writing is God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that is in righteousness,

This is a common mis-conception. The human authors of Scripture were indeed true authors in the sense that they wrote what they wished to write. The Holy Spirit didn’t use them as some secretary, dictating to them what He wanted written.

“God breathed” indicates the true source of “inspiration” (God). It doesn’t necessarily mean that Scripture is “God’s Dictation”.
