Galatians 1:11
But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
Galatians 1:12
For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Galatians 1:13
For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.
Galatians 1:14
And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Galatians 1:15
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace,
Galatians 1:16
to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
Galatians 1:17
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
