Galatians 1:21-24

21Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

22And I was still unknown by sight to the churches which were in Christ in Judea (Jerusalem and the surrounding region);

23they only kept hearing, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the [good news of the] faith which he once was trying to destroy.”

24And they were glorifying God [as the Author and Source of what had taken place and all that had been accomplished] in me.
