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

¹² And I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, having strengthened me, for he deemed me faithful, having set me in the service; ¹³ Being before slandering, expelling, and an abuser: but I was commiserated, because I did, not knowing, in unbelief. ¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord superabounded with faith and love in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Faithful the word, and worthy of all acceptance, for Christ Jesus came into the world to save the sinful; of whom I am first. ¹⁶ But for this was I commiserated, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a model to them about to believe on him to eternal life. ¹⁷ And to the King of times, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, honour and glory for the times of times. Amen.)
