Exegesis
The adversative alla perissoteron autōn pantōn ekopiasa {ἀλλὰ περισσότερον αὐτῶν πάντων ἐκοπίασα | al-lá pe-ris-só-te-ron au-tôn pán-tōn e-ko-pí-a-sa} intensifies the comparison “more than all of them,” with the comparative functioning adverbially to describe Paul’s effort.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:10
But through the grace of God I am who I am, and the favor He showed me was not in vain; rather, I strove more than all of them—yet it was not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
