1 Timothy 1 : 12 - 19
Chapter 1
| 12 | And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,
|
| 13 | although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
|
| 14 | And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
|
| 15 | 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.
|
| 16 | 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.
|
| 17 | Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
|
| 18 | This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
|
| 19 | having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck,
|
The grace of God the Father be with you all.
Amen.
