Riverside(i)
11 For I assure you, brethren, that the good news which I brought is not of man's devising.
12 For neither did I receive it from man nor was I taught it through man, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 You have heard of my former life in Judaism, that I furiously persecuted the church of God and made havoc of it,
14 and I went further in Judaism than many of my own age and race, being intensely zealous for the traditions of my forefathers.
15 But when he who had appointed me when I was in my mother's womb, and had called me by his grace,
16 was pleased to reveal his Son in me that I might tell the good news of him among the Gentiles, immediately I did not consult with flesh and blood,
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and came back to Damascus.
