WNT(i)
13 For you have heard of my early career in Judaism--how I furiously persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it;
14 and how in devotion to Judaism I outstripped many men of my own age among my people, being far more zealous than they on behalf of the traditions of my forefathers.
15 But when He who set me apart even from my birth, and called me by His grace,
16 saw fit to reveal His Son within me in order that I might tell among the Gentiles the Good News concerning Him, at once I did not confer with any human being,
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were my seniors in the Apostleship, but I went away into Arabia, and afterwards came back to Damascus.
18 Then, three years later, I went up to Jerusalem to inquire for Peter, and I spent a fortnight with him.
19 I saw none of the other Apostles, except James, the Lord's brother.
20 In making these assertions I am speaking the truth, as in the sight of God.
21 Afterwards I visited Syria and Cilicia.
22 But to the Christian Churches in Judaea I was personally unknown.
23 They only heard it said, "He who was once our persecutor is now telling the Good News of the faith of which he formerly made havoc."
24 And they gave glory to God on my account.
