Galatians 1:15-20
English Standard Version
15 But when he (A)who had set me apart (B)before I was born,[a] and who (C)called me by his grace, 16 was pleased to reveal his Son to[b] me, in order (D)that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;[c] 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 (E)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 (F)the Lord's brother. 20 (In what I am writing to you, (G)before God, I do not lie!)
