Galatians 1:13-16

13For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.

14I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

15But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased

16to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being.
