Galatians 1:14-16

Contemporary English Version

^14 (A) I was a much better Jew than anyone else my own age, and I obeyed every law our ancestors had given us. ^15 (B) But even before I was born, God had chosen me by his gift of undeserved grace and had decided ¹⁶ to show me his Son, so I would announce his message to the Gentiles. I didn't talk this over with anyone.
