Galatians 1:15-24

New International Version

¹⁵But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb^(A) and called me^(B) by his grace, was pleased ¹⁶to 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) ¹⁷I 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)

¹⁸Then after three years,^(F) I went up to Jerusalem^(G) to get acquainted with Cephas^[a] and stayed with him fifteen days. ¹⁹I saw none of the other apostles—only James,^(H) the Lord’s brother. ²⁰I assure you before God^(I) that what I am writing you is no lie.^(J)

²¹Then I went to Syria^(K) and Cilicia.^(L) ²²I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea^(M) that are in Christ.^(N) ²³They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith^(O) he once tried to destroy.”^(P) ²⁴And they praised God^(Q) because of me.
