Galatians 1:12-14

New Matthew Bible

¹² nor was I taught it, but I received it by the revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹³ For you have heard of my conduct in time past, in the ways of the Jews – how beyond measure I persecuted the congregation of God, and ravaged it, ¹⁴ and prevailed in the law of the Jews above many of my companions who were of my own nation, and was a much more fervent maintainer of the precepts of the elders.
