Galatians 1:23

21 Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

22 I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.

They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”

24 And they glorified God because of me.
