Galaterne 1,23

Repentance

21 Deretter reiste jeg til områdene i Syria og Kilikia.

22 Jeg forble ukjent av ansikt for menighetene i Judea som er i Kristus.

De hørte bare rapporten: "Mannen som en gang forfulgte oss, forkynner nå den tro han en gang prøvde å ødelegge."

24 Og de priste Gud for det som hadde skjedd gjennom meg.
