For I suppose G3049 I was not a whit G3367 behind G5302 the very G5228 most chief G5228 G3029 apostles. G652

I am become G1096 a fool G878 in glorying; G2744 you have compelled G315 me: for I ought G3784 to have been commended G4921 of you: for in nothing G3762 am I behind G5302 the very G3029 most chief G5228 G3029 apostles, G652 though G1499 I be nothing. G3762

Whereof G3739 I was made G1096 a minister, G1249 according G2596 to the gift G1431 of the grace G5485 of God G2316 given G1325 to me by the effectual G1753 working G1753 of his power. G1411

To me, who am less G1647 than the least G1647 of all G3956 saints, G40 is this G3778 grace G5485 given, G1325 that I should preach G2097 among G1722 the Gentiles G1484 the unsearchable G421 riches G4149 of Christ; G5547

As for Saul, G4569 he made havoc G3075 of the church, G1577 entering G1531 into G1531 every G2596 house, G3624 and haling G4951 men G435 and women G1135 committed G3860 them to prison. G5438

And Saul, G4569 yet G2089 breathing G1709 out threatenings G547 and slaughter G5408 against G1519 the disciples G3101 of the Lord, G2962 went G4334 to the high G749 priest, G749

And as he journeyed, G4198 he came G1096 near G1448 Damascus: G1154 and suddenly G1810 there shined G4015 round G4015 about G4015 him a light G5457 from heaven: G3772

And he said, G2036 Who G5101 are G1488 you, Lord? G2962 And the Lord G2962 said, G2036 I am G1510 Jesus G2424 whom G3739 you persecute: G1377 it is hard G4642 for you to kick G2979 against G4314 the pricks. G2759

And the men G435 which G3588 journeyed G4922 with him stood G2476 speechless, G1769 hearing G191 a voice, G5456 but seeing G2334 no G3367 man. G3367

And he was three G5140 days G2250 without G3361 sight, G991 and neither G3756 did eat G5315 nor G3761 drink. G4095

And the Lord G2962 said to him, Arise, G450 and go G4198 into G1909 the street G4505 which G3588 is called G2564 Straight, G2117 and inquire G2212 in the house G3614 of Judas G2455 for one called G3686 Saul, G4569 of Tarsus: G5018 for, behold, G2400 he prays, G4336

Then G1161 Ananias G367 answered, G611 Lord, G2962 I have heard G191 by many G4183 of this G5127 man, G435 how G3745 much G3745 evil G2556 he has done G4160 to your saints G40 at G1722 Jerusalem: G2419

But the Lord G2962 said G2036 to him, Go G4198 your way: for he is a chosen G1589 vessel G4632 to me, to bear G941 my name G3686 before G1799 the Gentiles, G1484 and kings, G935 and the children G5207 of Israel: G2474

And Ananias G367 went G565 his way, and entered G1525 into G1519 the house; G3614 and putting G2007 his hands G5495 on G1909 him said, G2036 Brother G80 Saul, G4569 the Lord, G2962 even Jesus, G2424 that appeared G3700 to you in the way G3598 as you came, G2064 has sent G649 me, that you might receive G308 your sight, G308 and be filled G4130 with the Holy G40 Ghost. G4151

And when he had received G2983 meat, G5160 he was strengthened. G1765 Then G1161 was Saul G4569 certain G5100 days G2250 with the disciples G3101 which were at G1722 Damascus. G1154

And I persecuted G1377 this G5026 way G3598 to the death, G2288 binding G1195 and delivering G3860 into G1519 prisons G5438 both G5037 men G435 and women. G1135

As also G2532 the high G749 priest G749 does bear G3140 me witness, G3140 and all G3956 the estate of the elders: G4244 from whom G3739 also G2532 I received G1209 letters G1992 to the brothers, G80 and went G4198 to Damascus, G1154 to bring G71 them which were there G1566 bound G1210 to Jerusalem, G2419 for to be punished. G5097

I truly G3303 G3767 thought G1380 with myself, G1683 that I ought G1163 to do G4238 many G4183 things contrary G1727 to the name G3686 of Jesus G2424 of Nazareth. G3478

And I punished G5097 them oft G4178 in every G3956 synagogue, G4864 and compelled G315 them to blaspheme; G987 and being exceedingly G4057 mad G1693 against G1693 them, I persecuted G1377 them even G2532 to strange G1854 cities. G4172

For you have heard G191 of my conversation G391 in time G4218 past in the Jews' G2454 religion, G2454 how that beyond G2596 G5236 measure G5236 I persecuted G1377 the church G1577 of God, G2316 and wasted G4199 it:

But they had heard G191 only, G3440 That he which persecuted G1377 us in times G4218 past now G3568 preaches G2097 the faith G4102 which G3739 once G4218 he destroyed. G4199

Concerning G2596 zeal, G2205 persecuting G1377 the church; G1577 touching G2596 the righteousness G1343 which G3588 is in the law, G3551 blameless. G273

Who G3588 was before G4386 a blasphemer, G989 and a persecutor, G1376 and injurious: G5197 but I obtained G1653 mercy, G1653 because G3754 I did it ignorantly G50 in unbelief. G570

And the grace G5485 of our Lord G2962 was exceeding G5250 abundant G5250 with faith G4102 and love G26 which G3588 is in Christ G5547 Jesus. G2424
