I had pedigree and credentials: “…a legitimate birth, circumcised on the eighth day; an Israelite from the elite tribe of Benjamin, [a Hebrew of Hebrews]; a strict and devout adherent to God’s law; a fiery defender of the purity of my religion…a meticulous observer of everything set down in God’s law Book.” (Philippians 3:5-
6, The Message).

Why sure, I looked like a Cub Scout on the outside, Paul infers, but I was really “a blasphemer…a persecutor…and a violent man…” on the inside. (I Timothy
1:13).
