“For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:”
For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. — Paul's self-description as persecutor ('ediōkon') locates his pre-conversion identity within zealous Judaism ('en tō Ioudaismō'), making his transformation all the more radical and his new gospel all the more incompatible with legalism.
