9 But Saul, still breathing threat and murder+ against the disciples+ of the Lord, went to the high priest

4 And I persecuted this Way to the death,+ binding and handing over to prisons+ both men and women,

10 which, in fact, I did in Jerusalem, and many of the holy ones I locked up in prisons,+ as I had received authority from the chief priests;+ and when they were to be executed, I cast my vote* against them.

9 For I am the least+ of the apostles, and I am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted+ the congregation of God.

13 YOU, of course, heard about my conduct formerly in Juʹda·ism,+ that to the point of excess I kept on persecuting+ the congregation of God and devastating it,+

6 as respects zeal, persecuting the congregation;+ as respects righteousness that is by means of law, one who proved himself blameless.
