The same word is used here:
15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. 16 Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.
Hi , and I am sorry to tell you that the Greek word for FIRST is PROTOS and not Foremost !!
PROTOS can mean :
#1 , The opposite of LAST !!
#2 , Denotes FIRST of all !!
#3 , Is also translated , Beginning , in John 2:10 and in 2 Peter 2:20 !!
#4 , Then there is FIRST-BEGOTTEN which the Greek word PROTOTOKOS , which means WORST -BORN , is that how the word is used ??
