Galatians 1:12-24
-
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
-
13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
-
14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
-
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
-
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
-
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
-
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
-
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
-
20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
-
21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
-
22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
-
23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
-
24 And they glorified God in me.
