1 Timothy 1:13-16

^{Tools
13} even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a ^(A)persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was ^(B)shown mercy because ^(C)I acted ignorantly in unbelief; ^{Tools
14} and the ^(D)grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the ^(E)faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. ^{Tools
15} ^(F)It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that ^(G)Christ Jesus came into the world to ^(H)save sinners, among whom ^(I)I am foremost of all. ^{Tools
16} Yet for this reason I ^(J)found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might ^(K)demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those ^(a)who would believe in Him for eternal life.
