"Second sight" is a synonym for "vision" (sometimes used in scholarship
about visionary experiences of prophets in the Hebrew Bible), which is what
we're dealing with in Gal 1:16, whatever other subjective experiences Paul
may have had.

Do you have a response to my discussion of Gal 2:20 (post of 4/4) where I
answer this question?  To echo Robert Kraft, discussing the particulars of
specific texts would put us on a firmer footing.
