1 Timothy 1:12-17 - Paul's Thankfulness For The Mercy Shown To Him

¹² I give thanks to Jesus Christ our Lord, the one having filled me up with dynamite, because he considered me faithful, having put me in the ministry; ¹³ being antecedently a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insulter: but I obtained mercy, because I did it in unbelief being ignorant; ¹⁴ but the grace of our Lord with faith and the divine love which is in Christ Jesus superabounded. ¹⁵ It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief: ¹⁶ but on this account I obtained mercy, in order that Jesus Christ might in me the chief show forth all longsuffering, for an example of those about to believe on him unto eternal life. ¹⁷ But to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only God, be honor and glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen.
