I'm planning to write my PhD thesis about the work I authored or co-authored in published journal. In this case, is it okay to simply copy and paste the paragraph from the paper to my thesis? Is this considered plagiarism if I am the author or co-author of the paper? I'm particular concerned for those papers that I'm not the first author.

I marked as a duplicate the question about third-authored paper because you said you were especially concerned about the papers where you're not the first author. but note that there are also highly relevant answers on the other questions I linked to in my comment above. – ff524 Dec 31 '15 at 05:21
