Galatians 1:11-24

11For 1I would haveG1107 you knowG1107, brothersG80 and sisters, that the gospelG2098 which was preachedG2097 by me is 2not 3of humanG444 inventionG2596. 12For 4I neitherG3761 receivedG3880 it from manG444, norG3777 was I taughtG1321 it, but I received it throughG1223 a 5revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

13For you have heardG191 of 6my formerG4218 wayG391 ofG391 lifeG391 in JudaismG2454, howG3754 I 7used to persecuteG1377 8the churchG1577 of GodG2316 beyondG2596 G5236 measureG5236 and 9tried to destroyG4199 it; 14and I 10was advancingG4298 in JudaismG2454 beyondG5228 manyG4183 of my contemporariesG4915 amongG1722 my 11countrymenG1085, beingG5225 moreG4056 extremelyG4056 zealousG2207 for my 12ancestralG3967 traditionsG3862. 15But whenG3753 13He who had setG873 me apartG873 even from my mother’sG3384 wombG2836 and 14calledG2564 me throughG1223 His graceG5485 was pleasedG2106 16to revealG601 His SonG5207 in me soG2443 thatG2443 I might 15preachG2097 Him amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, 16I did not immediatelyG2112 consultG4323 with 17 18fleshG4561 and bloodG129, 17 19norG3761 did I goG424 up to JerusalemG2414 to thoseG3588 who were apostlesG652 beforeG4253 me; but I wentG565 awayG565 to ArabiaG688, and returnedG5290 onceG3825 moreG3825 to 20DamascusG1154.

18ThenG1899 21threeG5140 yearsG2094 laterG3326 I wentG424 up 22to JerusalemG2414 to 23becomeG2477 acquaintedG2477 withG2477 24 25CephasG2786, and stayedG1961 with him for fifteenG1178 daysG2250. 19But I did not seeG3708 anotherG2087 oneG2087 of the apostlesG652 exceptG1508 26 27JamesG2385, the Lord’sG2962 brotherG80. 20(NowG1161 in whatG3739 I am writingG1125 to you, 28I assureG2400 you 29beforeG1799 GodG2316 that I am not lyingG5574.) 21ThenG1899 30I wentG2064 into the regionsG2824 of 31SyriaG4947 and 32CiliciaG2791. 22I was still unknownG50 by 33sightG4383 to 34the churchesG1577 of JudeaG2449 which are 35in ChristG5547; 23but they onlyG3440 kept hearingG191, “The man who onceG4218 persecutedG1377 us is nowG3568 preachingG2097 36the faithG4102 whichG3739 he onceG4218 37tried to destroyG4199.” 24And they 38were glorifyingG1392 GodG2316 39becauseG1722 of me.
