Galatians 1:19-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

19. But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother.

20. (Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I am not lying.)

21. Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

22. I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea which were in Christ;

23. but only, they kept hearing, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy."

24. And they were glorifying God because of me.
