Galatians 1:23

but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc;

They simply kept hearing, “He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith he once tried to destroy.”

But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

but they only kept hearing, “The man who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith which he once tried to destroy.”

They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”

But they were hearing only, “He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.”

All they knew was that people were saying, “The one who used to persecute us is now preaching the very faith he tried to destroy!”

but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
