Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.

And they gave glory to God in me.
— Galatians 1:20-1964, Bible in Basic English

Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judea which were in Christ: But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. And they glorified God in me. ”
