But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by His grace, To reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the heathen [i.e. Gentiles, as in the RSV]; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles [see Disciples and Apostles] before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus."
"My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews; Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee." (Acts 26:4 KJV)
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves [see Believers]. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." (James 1:22-27 KJV)更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
