Courage
For I want you to know, brothers and
sisters, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin; for
I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it, but I received
it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
You have heard, no doubt, of my earlier
life in Judaism. I was violently persecuting the church of God and was trying
to destroy it. I advanced in Judaism beyond many among my people of the same
age, for I was far more zealous for the traditions of my ancestors. But when God,
who had set me apart before I was born and called me through his grace, was
pleased to reveal his Son to me, so that I might proclaim him among the
Gentiles, I did not confer with any human being, nor did I go up to Jerusalem
to those who were already apostles before me, but I went away at once into
Arabia, and afterwards I returned to Damascus.
Then after three years I did go up to
Jerusalem to visit Cephas and stayed with him for fifteen days; but I did not
see any
other apostle except James the Lord's
brother. In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie! Then I went
into the regions of Syria and Cilicia, and I was still unknown by sight to the
churches of Judea that are in Christ; they only heard it said, "The one
who formerly was persecuting us is now proclaiming the faith he once tried to
destroy." And they glorified God because of me.
