Limited to 1 Cor. 15:8, the Greek noun “ektroma” described a miscarriage, an abortive birth, or an untimely birth.  Classical and Septuagint use of this term may have, in some cases, applied this word to grown men as a term of contempt.

As discussed in my commentary on 1 Cor. 15:8, some think Paul described the “lateness” of his conversion compared to the other apostles.  Others believe he described the radical change he underwent or his deep regret over persecuting Christians prior to his conversion (verse 9).  All three of these things are true, but we do not know which (if any) of these ideas was what Paul meant.

Schaff (History of the Christian Church, 1:313) suggested the key difference between Paul and the other apostles was their having seen “the risen Saviour still abiding on earth, while he saw the ascended Saviour coming down from heaven, as we may expect him to appear to all men on the last day.  It is the greatness of that vision which leads him to dwell on his personal unworthiness as ‘the least of the apostles and not worthy to be called an apostle, because he persecuted the church of God.’”  Others such as Lenski (First Corinthians, p. 639) believe Paul compared “himself to an abortion, to whom the risen Lord nevertheless appeared.”  “God took this dead, vile thing, the most rabid persecutor of his church, and by his wondrous grace made not only a Christian of him but also an apostle, and not only one who was fit and worthy to be placed at the side of the other apostles but one who outranks the rest in his work, one who labors more abundantly than they all” (ibid, p. 640).  “T Boman points out the triply depreciative expression:  the last of the series—like a stillborn child—the lowliest or most minuscule of the apostles” (Spicq, 1:466).
We do know that the word translated untimely born (ASV) is used three times in the LXX, but Spicq (1:464) noted how these passages shed “no light on the Pauline metaphor.”  The first place where untimely born occurs in the LXX is Num. 12:12 (Aaron pleaded with Moses on behalf of Miriam after she was stricken with leprosy.  He did not want her to be like a “still born” child).  This term is also found in Job 3:16 and Eccl. 6:3.
We may not have a full understanding of verse 8, but it does seem safe to say that Paul had not forgotten his former manner of life.  He knew his conversion had been radical (Gal. 1:22-23) and he felt like he was the “chief of sinners” (1 Tim. 1:13-15).  He knew that while he had been busy with Judaism (Phil. 3:4-5) and opposing Christianity (this point is discussed more fully in verse 9), the other apostles were with Jesus and helping Him.
