13 For you heard my way of life when I was in Judaism, that with surpassing zeal I persecuted the church of God and ravaged it.
14 And I progressed in Judaism beyond many contemporaries in my race, being much more a zealot of the traditions of my ancestors.
15 But when God was pleased, "He having separated me from my mother's womb" and having called through His grace, Isa. 49:1
16 to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the nations, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood,
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia and returned again to Damascus.
18 Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Peter and remained with him fifteen days.
19 But I saw no other of the apostles except James the brother of the Lord.
20 And what I write to you, behold, before God I do not lie.
21 Then I went into the regions of Syria and of Cilicia,
22 but I was not known by face to the churches of Judea in Christ.
23 But only they were hearing that he who was persecuting us then, now proclaims the faith which he then ravaged;
24 and they glorified God in me.
