1-5 (Acts 9:3-6; 22:3, 4). Instruction for the Church Today—[1 Corinthians 2:1-5 quoted.] Paul was not an unlearned man, but the preaching of Christ was a new gospel to him. It was a work entirely different from that he had engaged in when he hunted the believers from place to place and persecuted them even “unto the death.” But Christ had revealed Himself to Paul in a remarkable manner at his conversion. At the gate of Damascus the vision of the Crucified One changed the whole current of his life. The persecutor became a disciple, the teacher a learner.{6BC 1084.3}

1-5 (Apg 9,3-6; 22,3. 4). Undervisning til menigheden i dag.--[1 Kor. 2,1-5 citeret.] Paulus var ikke nogen ulært mand, men Kristi forkyndelse var et nyt evangelium for ham. Det var et helt anderledes arbejde fra det som han involveret sig da han jagtede de troende fra sted til sted og forfulgte dem ”helt til døden.” Men Kristus havde åbenbaret Sig selv for Paulus på en bemærkelsesværdig måde ved hans omvendelse. Ved Damaskus’ port forandrede Den Korsfæstede hele hans livsretning. Forfølgeren blev en discipel, en lærer til en elev.
