but they had heard only that, “He who persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.”
but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc;
they only kept hearing, “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the [good news of the] faith which he once was trying to destroy.”
They were only hearing it said, He who used to persecute us is now proclaiming the very faith he once reviled and which he set out to ruin and tried with all his might to destroy.

but they were only hearing that “the one once persecuting us is now announcing-as-good-news the faith which he was once destroying”.
But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us in times past, doth now preach the faith which once he impugned:
They had only heard this about me: “This man was persecuting us. But now he is telling people about the same faith that he once tried to destroy.”
They had only heard people say this about me: ‘This man caused bad trouble against us Christians before. He tried to destroy God's message about Jesus. But now he himself is telling people the good news about Jesus, so that they believe.’

All this that I am telling you is, I assure you before God, the plain truth. Later, I visited districts in Syria and Cilicia, but I was still personally unknown to the churches of Judea. All they knew of me, in fact, was the saying: “The man who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” And they thanked God for what had happened to me.

All they knew was what people were saying, that “our former enemy is now preaching the very faith he tried to wreck.”
Then I began my ministry in the regions of Syria and Cilicia. After all that time and activity I was still unknown by face among the Christian churches in Judea. There was only this report: “That man who once persecuted us is now preaching the very message he used to try to destroy.” Their response was to recognize and worship God because of me!

They only heard people say, `This is the man who used to trouble us and he is now telling others to believe what he once tried to stop.'
and they had only an hearing, that he that pursued us sometime, preacheth now the faith [now evangelizeth the faith], against which he fought sometime;
and only they were hearing, that `he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;'
