Paul Called by God
11For mI would have you know, brothers, that nthe gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. ▼▼Greek not according to man
12 pFor I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it qthrough a revelation of Jesus Christ. 13For you have heard of rmy former life in Judaism, how sI persecuted the church of God violently and tried to destroy it. 14And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely tzealous was I for uthe traditions of my fathers. 15But when he vwho had set me apart wbefore I was born, ▼▼Greek set me apart from my mother’s womb
and who ycalled me by his grace, 16was pleased to reveal his Son to ▼▼Greek in
me, in order aathat I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone; ▼▼Greek with flesh and blood
17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus. Ephesians 1:1
