Galatians 1:15–24
15 But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and acalled me through His grace, was pleased
16 to reveal His Son in me so that I might apreach Him among the Gentiles, bI did not immediately consult with 1cflesh and blood,
17 anor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to bDamascus.
18 Then athree years later I went up bto Jerusalem to 1become acquainted with cCephas, and stayed with him fifteen days.
19 But I did not see any other of the apostles except 1aJames, the Lord’s brother.
20 (Now in what I am writing to you, 1I assure you abefore God that I am not lying.)
21 Then aI went into the regions of bSyria and cCilicia.
22 I was still unknown by 1sight to athe churches of Judea which were bin Christ;
23 but only, they kept hearing, “He who once persecuted us is now preaching athe faith which he once btried to destroy.”
