When it became clear that he really was a Christian, his conversion became a cause for rejoicing and thanksgiving among the disciples, who heard, not that just any former opposer had undergone a change of heart, but rather that “the man that formerly persecuted us is now declaring the good news about the faith which he formerly devastated. ” ​ — Acts 9: 26; Galatians 1: 23, 24.
Kur u bë e qartë se ishte vërtet i krishterë, kthimi i tij u bë një shkak gëzimi dhe falënderimi mes dishepujve, të cilët dëgjuan, jo vetëm që njëfarë ish - kundërshtari kishte pësuar ndryshim në zemër, por që « ai që na persekutonte më përpara, tani po shpall atë besim që ai shkatërronte ». — Veprat 9: 26; Galatasve 1: 23, 24.
