rwp @1Corinthians:15:9 @{The least } (\ho elachistos \). True superlative , not elative . Explanation of the strong word \ektr “ma \ just used . See strkjv @Ephesians:3:8 | where he calls himself "less than the least of all saints " and strkjv @1Timothy:1:15 | the "chief " (\pr “tos \) of sinners . Yet under attack from the Judaizers Paul stood up for his rank as equal to any apostle (2Corinthians:11:5f .,23 |). {Because I persecuted the church of God } (\edi “xa t ˆn ekkl ˆsian tou theou \). There were times when this terrible fact confronted Paul like a nightmare . Who does not understand this mood of contrition ?
