15 | But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through his grace, |
16 | was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not confer 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 again I returned to Damascus. |
18 | Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days. |
19 | But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. |
20 | (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!) |
21 | Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cili'cia. |
22 | And I was still not known by sight to the churches of Christ in Judea; |
23 | they only heard it said, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy." |
24 | And they glorified God because of me. |
