1 Timothy 1:13

Paul's Thankfulness For The Mercy Shown To Him

¹² And I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who gave me ability for the work, that He accounted me faithful, having put me into the ministry, ¹³ who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an oppressor. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief: and the grace of our Lord superabounded, ¹⁴ with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
