1 Corinthians 15:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

And Saul abused the church, going into houses, and drawing out men and women, delivered to prison.

And Saul, yet breathing out threatening and murder against the disciples of the Lord, having come to the chief priest,

Who drove out this way even to death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women.

I therefore truly thought to myself, I must do many things contrary to the name of Jesus, the Nazarite.

For ye heard of my turning about when in Judaism, that in excess I drove out the church of God, and laid it waste:

For zeal, driving out the church; for justice in the law, not to be found fault with.

Being before slandering, expelling, and an abuser: but I was commiserated, because I did, not knowing, in unbelief.

So also ye, when ye do all appointed you, say, That we are useless servants: for what we ought to do, we have done.

And Saul abused the church, going into houses, and drawing out men and women, delivered to prison.
