For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:9 Go To 1 Corinthians 15
Jerome
AD 420
These words apply to those who complain: Why wasn’t I created such that I would be free from sin forever? Why was I fashioned such a vessel that I could not endure hard like metal instead of being fragile and easily broken whenever touched? … Let us blush and say what those say who have already obtained their rewards. Let us, who are sinners on earth and encased in this fragile and mortal body, say what we know the saints are saying in heaven.
