Galatians 1:15-23
New International Version
Galatians 1:15-23
New International Version
15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb(A) and called me(B) by his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles,(C) my immediate response was not to consult any human being.(D) 17 I did not go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned to Damascus.(E)
18 Then after three years,(F) I went up to Jerusalem(G) to get acquainted with Cephas[a] and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 I saw none of the other apostles—only James,(H) the Lord’s brother. 20 I assure you before God(I) that what I am writing you is no lie.(J)
21 Then I went to Syria(K) and Cilicia.(L) 22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea(M) that are in Christ.(N) 23 They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith(O) he once tried to destroy.”(P)

Galatians 1:15-23
King James Version
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.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
20 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 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.
