Sergius Paulus, the proconsul, an intelligent man, he wanted to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer opposed and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.
Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, “You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery.
