“But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,”
“But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,”
“But when the one who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace was pleased”
“But when it pleased him who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by his grace,”
“But when it was the good pleasure of God, by whom I was marked out even from my mother's body, through his grace,”

But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.
