¹¹ Dear friends, I solemnly swear that the way to heaven that I preach is not based on some mere human whim or dream. ¹² For my message comes from no less a person than Jesus Christ himself, who told me what to say. No one else has taught me.

¹³ You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion—how I went after the Christians mercilessly, hunting them down and doing my best to get rid of them all.
