for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God,
and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;
become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God;
for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,
I have become a fool -- boasting; ye -- ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles -- even if I am nothing.
for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it,
and only they were hearing, that `he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;'
according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!
