I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. They only heard the report: "The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy." And they praised God because of me.
I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea
1 Thessalonians 2:14 For you, brothers, became imitators of God's churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own countrymen the same things those churches suffered from the Jews, ...
that are in Christ
Romans 16:3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus.
The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith
Acts 6:7 So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
he once tried to destroy
Acts 8:3 But Saul (later to be called Paul) began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.
And they praised God because of me
Matthew 9:8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to men.
