9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you athan what you have received, let him be accursed.
10 For ado I now bpersuade men, or God? Or cdo I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
Call to Apostleship
11 aBut I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
12 For aI neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came bthrough the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how aI persecuted the church of God beyond measure and btried to destroy it.
14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, abeing more exceedingly zealous bfor the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God, awho separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace,
16 ato reveal His Son in me, that bI might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with cflesh and blood,
17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
Contacts at Jerusalem
18 Then after three years aI went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days.
19 But aI saw none of the other apostles except bJames, the Lord’s brother.
