48:001:015 But when it pleased God, who separated
me from my mother’s
womb,
and called me by his grace,
48:001:016 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach
him among the
heathen;
immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
48:001:017 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them
which were apostles
before
me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto
Damascus.
48:001:018 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem
to see Peter,
and
abode with him fifteen days.
48:001:019 But other of the apostles saw I none, save
James the Lord’s
brother.
48:001:020 Now the things which I write unto you,
behold, before God, I
lie
not.
48:001:021 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
48:001:022 And was unknown by face unto the churches
of Judaea which were
in
Christ:
48:001:023 But they had heard only, That he which
persecuted us in times
past
now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
48:001:024 And they glorified God in me.
48:002:001 Then fourteen years after I went up again
to Jerusalem with
Barnabas,
and took Titus with me also.
48:002:002 And I went up by revelation, and communicated
unto them that
gospel
which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to
them
which were of reputation, lest by any means I should
run,
or
had run, in vain.
48:002:003 But neither Titus, who was with me, being
a Greek, was
compelled
to be circumcised:
48:002:004 And that because of false brethren unawares
brought in, who
came
in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in
Christ
Jesus,
that they might bring us into bondage:
48:002:005 To whom we gave place by subjection, no,
not for an hour; that
the
truth of the gospel might continue with you.
48:002:006 But of these who seemed to be somewhat,
(whatsoever they were,
it
maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s
person:) for
they
who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing
to
me:
48:002:007 But contrariwise, when they saw that the
gospel of the
uncircumcision
was committed unto me, as the gospel of the
circumcision
was unto Peter;
48:002:008 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter
to the apostleship
of
the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward
the
Gentiles:)
48:002:009 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed
to be pillars,
perceived
the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me
and
Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should
go
unto
the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
