Exegesis
The verse begins with ego {ἐγὼ | egṓ} ‘I’ as an emphatic subject, followed by the postpositive gar {γάρ | gár} ‘for’ linking this statement to Paul’s larger argument about resurrection.
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:9
For I am the least of the apostles, and I am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God .
