Both occurrences use the dative singular form in statements about the speaker's past. In Galatians 1:13 the APB renders former behavior and pursuit of God's assembly; in Galatians 1:14 it renders advancement beyond contemporaries alongside zeal for paternal traditions.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Judaism” in both verses, within accounts of former behavior and advancement. The surrounding descriptions confirm the clause context rather than isolate every contribution of the term.
