Galatians 1:15-24
New American Standard Bible
15 But when [a]He who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and (A)called me through His grace was pleased 16 to reveal His Son in me so that I might (B)preach Him among the Gentiles, (C)I did not immediately consult with [b](D)flesh and blood, 17 (E)nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to (F)Damascus.
18 Then (G)three years later I went up (H)to Jerusalem to [c]become acquainted with [d](I)Cephas, and stayed with him for fifteen days. 19 But I did not see another one of the apostles except [e](J)James, the Lord’s brother. 20 (Now in what I am writing to you, [f]I assure you (K)before God that I am not lying.) 21 Then (L)I went into the regions of (M)Syria and (N)Cilicia. 22 I was still unknown by [g]sight to (O)the churches of Judea which are (P)in Christ; 23 but they only kept hearing, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching (Q)the faith which he once (R)tried to destroy.” 24 And they (S)were glorifying God [h]because of me.
