1 Corinthians 15:8

1 Corinthians 15:8

6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have¹ fallen asleep.

7 After that He was seen by James, then ^aby all the apostles.

8 ^aThen last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

9 For I am ^athe least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because ^bI persecuted the church of God.

10 But ^aby the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, ^byet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

11 Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

The Risen Christ, Our Hope

12 Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, ^athen Christ is not risen.

As unto one born out of due time (wsperei tw ektrwmati). Literally, as to the miscarriage (or untimely birth). Word first occurs in Aristotle for abortion or miscarriage and occurs in LXX (Numbers 12:12; Job 3:16) and papyri (for miscarriage by accident). The verb titrwskw means to wound and ek is out. Paul means that the appearance to him came after Jesus had ascended to heaven.
