I have inserted "even" here that it may be quite clear that "from my mother's womb" is a point of time. There can be no doubt of it. see Matt. 19.12, Luke 1.15; Acts 3.2; 14.8. The Greek has the force of "taking out," as distinguished or appropriated to something, though doubtless meaning "to separate." I have therefore said "set apart."
