It was my desire, when I went on into Macedonia, that you might make a stop at Ephesus, to give orders to certain men not to put forward a different teaching,

Which may be seen in the good news of the glory of the great God, which was given into my care.

Though I had said violent words against God, and done cruel acts, causing great trouble: but I was given mercy, because I did it without knowledge, not having faith;

And the grace of our Lord was very great, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.

Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;

For Adam was first formed, then Eve;

And Adam was not taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer.

And without argument, great is the secret of religion: He who was seen in the flesh, who was given God's approval in the spirit, was seen by the angels, of whom the good news was given among the nations, in whom the world had faith, who was taken up in glory.

Make use of that grace in you, which was given to you by the word of the prophets, when the rulers of the church put their hands on you.
