NASB
"For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it;"
— Galatians 1:13, NASB

“For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havoc of it: ”

“For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:”
“For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:”
