11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: 14 and profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 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.

Call to Apostleship(A)

11 (B)But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For (C)I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came (D)through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

13 For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how (E)I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and (F)tried to destroy it. 14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, (G)being more exceedingly zealous (H)for the traditions of my fathers.

15 But when it pleased God, (I)who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, 16 (J)to reveal His Son in me, that (K)I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with (L)flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

Contacts at Jerusalem(M)

18 Then after three years (N)I went up to Jerusalem to see [a]Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But (O)I saw none of the other apostles except (P)James, the Lord’s brother. 20 (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)

El ministerio de Pablo

11 Mas os hago saber, hermanos, que el evangelio anunciado por mí, no es según hombre; 12 pues yo ni lo recibí ni lo aprendí de hombre alguno, sino por revelación de Jesucristo. 13 Porque ya habéis oído acerca de mi conducta en otro tiempo en el judaísmo, que perseguía sobremanera a la iglesia de Dios, y la asolaba;(A) 14 y en el judaísmo aventajaba a muchos de mis contemporáneos en mi nación, siendo mucho más celoso de las tradiciones de mis padres.(B) 15 Pero cuando agradó a Dios, que me apartó desde el vientre de mi madre, y me llamó por su gracia, 16 revelar a su Hijo en mí,(C) para que yo le predicase entre los gentiles, no consulté en seguida con carne y sangre, 17 ni subí a Jerusalén a los que eran apóstoles antes que yo; sino que fui a Arabia, y volví de nuevo a Damasco.

18 Después, pasados tres años, subí a Jerusalén(D) para ver a Pedro, y permanecí con él quince días; 19 pero no vi a ningún otro de los apóstoles, sino a Jacobo el hermano del Señor. 20 En esto que os escribo, he aquí delante de Dios que no miento.

How Paul Became an Apostle

11 But I reveal to you, brothers, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For I neither received it from man, neither was I taught it, except by a revelation of Jesus Christ.

13 For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it, 14 and progressed in Judaism above many of my equals in my own heritage, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased God, who set me apart since I was in my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, 16 to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the nations, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me. But I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

18 After three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter and stayed with him for fifteen days. 19 I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. 20 In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!
