1 Timothy 1:12-17

Paul’s Testimony of God's Grace

12
I give him thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry:
13
Who before was a blasphemer and a persecutor and contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14
Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
15
A faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.
16
But for this cause have I obtained mercy: that in me first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them that shall believe in him unto life everlasting.
17
Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
