Hello all,

Please pardon my amateur question - but I'm still struggling with verb 
tenses.

In 1 Corinthians 15:9 Paul is speaking of how he persecuted the Church.  In 
most every translation I've seen this is translated as past tense.

Can someone please help a rookie understand why this sentence:

DIOTI EDIWXA THN EKKLHSIAN TOU QEOU

... is not translated as "I persecute" rather than "I persecuted"?

Thanks so much!
