11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
and I made a proficiency in Judaism above many of the same age with me in my own nation, being excessively zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called [me] by his grace,

16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia,
22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:

23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
But only they had heard that he who persecuted us before, now preacheth the faith which he formerly would have destroyed.
24 And they glorified God in me.
And they glorified God on my account.
