I. Tim. 1:11-16- according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust. And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled ( strengthened) me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man ( violently arrogant); but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners , of whom I am chief. However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, AS A PATTERN TO THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO BELIEVE ON HIM FOR EVERLASTING LIFE. NOW TO THE King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, BE HONOR AND GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. Amen!
