Galatians 1:16-24
English Standard Version
16 was pleased to reveal his Son to[a] me, in order (A)that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;[b] 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
18 Then (B)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 (C)the Lord's brother. 20 (In what I am writing to you, (D)before God, I do not lie!) 21 (E)Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was still unknown in person to (F)the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23 They only were hearing it said, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God because of me.

Galatians 1:16-24
New International Version
16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles,(A) my immediate response was not to consult any human being.(B) 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.(C)
18 Then after three years,(D) I went up to Jerusalem(E) to get acquainted with Cephas[a] and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 I saw none of the other apostles—only James,(F) the Lord’s brother. 20 I assure you before God(G) that what I am writing you is no lie.(H)
21 Then I went to Syria(I) and Cilicia.(J) 22 I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea(K) that are in Christ.(L) 23 They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith(M) he once tried to destroy.”(N) 24 And they praised God(O) because of me.
