Galatians 1:23
But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

μόνον δὲ ἀκούοντες ἦσαν ὅτι ὁ διώκων ἡμᾶς ποτε νῦν εὐαγγελίζεται τὴν πίστιν ἥν ποτε ἐπόρθει,

tantum autem auditum habebant quoniam qui persequebatur nos aliquando, nunc evangelizat fidem, quam aliquando expugnabat :

but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc;
ASV
But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us in times past doth now preach the faith which once he impugned.
