Galatians 1:13-17 (Good News Translation)
View In My Bible
13
You have been told how I used to live when I was devoted to the Jewish religion, how I persecuted without mercy the church of God and did my best to destroy it. 1
14
I was ahead of most other Jews of my age in my practice of the Jewish religion, and was much more devoted to the traditions of our ancestors. 2
15
But God in his grace chose me even before I was born, and called me to serve him. And when he decided 3
16
to reveal his Son to me, so that I might preach the Good News about him to the Gentiles, I did not go to anyone for advice,
17
nor did I go to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before me. Instead, I went at once to Arabia, and then I returned to Damascus.
