3:6 ^a I harshly persecuted the church (see Acts 8:1-3 ^b; 9:1-2 ^c, 21 ^d; Gal 1:13 ^e): His actions demonstrated his zeal for Judaism, to which the Good News of Jesus was seen as a threat.

• Paul’s righteousness, as judged by human standards, was another indication of his zeal for the law (see also Gal 1:14 ^f; for Paul’s later Christian view, cp. Rom 3:23 ^g; 7:14-25 ^h).
