Galatians 1:12-24

12For 1I neitherG3761 receivedG3880 it from manG444, norG3777 was I taughtG1321 it, but I received it throughG1223 a 2revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

13For you have heardG191 of 3my formerG4218 wayG391 ofG391 lifeG391 in JudaismG2454, howG3754 I 4used to persecuteG1377 5the churchG1577 of GodG2316 beyondG2596G5236 measureG5236 and 6tried to destroyG4199 it; 14and I 7was advancingG4298 in JudaismG2454 beyondG5228 manyG4183 of my contemporariesG4915 amongG1722 my 8countrymenG1085, beingG5225 moreG4056 extremelyG4056 zealousG2207 for my 9ancestralG3967 traditionsG3862. 15But whenG3753 10He who had setG873 me apartG873 even from my mother’sG3384 wombG2836 and 11calledG2564 me throughG1223 His graceG5485 was pleasedG2106 16to revealG601 His SonG5207 in me soG2443 thatG2443 I might 12preachG2097 Him amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, 13I did not immediatelyG2112 consultG4323 with 1415fleshG4561 and bloodG129, 1716norG3761 did I goG424 up to JerusalemG2414 to thoseG3588 who were apostlesG652 beforeG4253 me; but I wentG565 awayG565 to ArabiaG688, and returnedG5290 onceG3825 moreG3825 to 17DamascusG1154.

18ThenG1899 18threeG5140 yearsG2094 laterG3326 I wentG424 up 19to JerusalemG2414 to 20becomeG2477 acquaintedG2477 withG2477 2122CephasG2786, and stayedG1961 with him for fifteenG1178 daysG2250. 19But I did not seeG3708 anotherG2087 oneG2087 of the apostlesG652 exceptG1508 2324JamesG2385, the Lord’sG2962 brotherG80. 20(NowG1161 in whatG3739 I am writingG1125 to you, 25I assureG2400 you 26beforeG1799 GodG2316 that I am not lyingG5574.) 21ThenG1899 27I wentG2064 into the regionsG2824 of 28SyriaG4947 and 29CiliciaG2791. 22I was still unknownG50 by 30sightG4383 to 31the churchesG1577 of JudeaG2449 which are 32in ChristG5547; 23but they onlyG3440 kept hearingG191, “The man who onceG4218 persecutedG1377 us is nowG3568 preachingG2097 33the faithG4102 whichG3739 he onceG4218 34tried to destroyG4199.” 24And they 35were glorifyingG1392 GodG2316 36becauseG1722 of me.
