Galatians 1:12-14

12 For neither, from man, did I accept it, nor was taught it , but through a revealing of Jesus Christ.

13 For ye have heard, as to my own manner of life, at one time, in Judaism, how that, exceedingly, was I persecuting the assembly of God, and laying it waste,

14 And was making advancement, in Judaism, above many contemporaries in my nation, being, surpassingly zealous, of my paternal instructions.
