The Council at Jerusalem

15 ^(A)Some men came down from Judea and began teaching ^(B)the brethren, “Unless you are ^(C)circumcised according to ^(D)the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

³ “^(A)I am ^(B)a Jew, born in ^(C)Tarsus of ^(D)Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated ^[a]under ^(E)Gamaliel, ^[b](F)strictly according to the law of our fathers, being zealous for God just as ^(G)you all are today.

² For I testify about them that they have ^(A)a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.

¹⁴ and I ^(A)was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my ^[a]countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ^(B)ancestral traditions.
