1 Corinthians 9:1 seems to be a little contrary to 1 Corinthians 15:6. On the one hand, we seem to have Paul saying that seeing the risen Christ was one of the hallmarks and special gifts from God of being selected to be an apostle (“Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?), while 1 Corinthians 15:6 says “everyone” was seeing the risen Jesus (He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once)! Perhaps one of the passages is interpolated?

Perhaps the statement “having seen Jesus” was not intended to be a characteristic of an apostle… Merely stating the fact that something really significant happened – thus giving him some credibility. To sum – perhaps more is being read into the statement than intended by the author.
