Galatians 1:15

It was the good pleasure of God (eudokhsen o qeov). Paul had no doubt about God's purpose in him (I Thessalonians 2:8).

Who separated me (o aforisav me). Aforizw is old word (from apo and orov) to mark off from a boundary or line. The Pharisees were the separatists who held themselves off from others. Paul conceives himself as a spiritual Pharisee "separated unto the gospel of God" (Romans 1:1, the same word afwrismenov). Before his birth God had his plans for him and called him.
