And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who
hath enabled me, for that he counted
me faithful, putting me into the
ministry; Who was before a blasphemer,
and a persecutor, and injurious: but I
obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly
in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was
exceeding abundant with faith and love
which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying,
and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinners; of
whom I am chief. Howbeit for this cause I
obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus
Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a
pattern to them which should hereafter
believe on him to life everlasting. Now unto the
King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God,
be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
II Timothy 1:12-17
