Gal 1:22 And (I Paul) was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
Gal 1:23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
Gal 1:24 And they glorified God in me. (KJV)
The ESV Bible says:
Gal 1:24 And they glorified God because of me.
The ERV Bible writes:
Gal 1:24 These believers praised God because of me.
I think that the KJV is more correct. And they glorified God in me. (KJV)
It was the Spirit of God in Paul that gave him the grace to repent and to follow the will of God. To God be the glory. Jesus had chosen Paul to be his apostle to the Gentiles. He spoke by revelation of a mystery.
Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Col 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
It is not Paul and it is not you or I, but it is Christ in you, the hope of glory who works through us His good works. Give all glory to our God who has chosen us unto good works.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Amen
