But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased

Galatians 1:15 in context

The verses around it, from Galatians 1.

11 For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.

12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.

13 For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.

14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

15 But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased

16 to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,

17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.

18 Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.

19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
