Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother. (In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie!)
For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel. For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. ...
But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?”

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”

This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
