Galatians / Question
Question source
Galatians
Paul recalls that he “persecuted the church of God violently” and tried to destroy it. He also says he was advancing in Judaism, showing the contrast with his later calling (Galatians 1:13–14).
13For you have heard of my way of living in time past in the Jews` religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it.
14I advanced in the Jews` religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
